@testabeatdrums: We have talked so much about how dampening your drums can shape and provide you with a different sound in so many ways. The one thing that seems to miss most people is that when you use dampening, it doesn’t mean you don’t know how to tune. There is a big possibility that you have unfortunately seen some people use dampening because of their lack of tuning. Yet, because of situations like that, we tend to shed backlight on dampening. Dampening is only a tool to shape the sound of your drum to serve a specific song or situation. Like anything else, this technique can be misused, but that doesn’t make it a bad thing!! The degree of dampening is all dependent on how much gaffer rape you use and what sounds you are looking for. All of this comes down to serving the situation and music at hand. Learn that, and you will never find dampening a problem again. Hacks like this remind us how many endless possibilities there are when you are willing to step out of your sonic comfort zone and experiment. What do you guys think? Which amount of dampening did you like the most? Did you like it wide open? Leave a comment. Let’s talk about it! Stay creative, and have a great rest of the week. Love you, guys!! Okay. Byeeeee. 🥁🤓👊🏻❤️🙏🏻 — #testabeatdrums #thedrumsultant #drumtuning #snaredrum #snare #drummer #vibe #geartok #drumtok #process #technique #fixxerupper #tuning #sound #CapCut #variant #experimenting #findyoursound #comparison #keeponlearning #florida #orlando #drumtuning #techtiptuesday #gaffertape #tipsandtricks #drumhack #drumsultant #techtip #snaredrum
