I have a kit with an 18" kick and found the greatest change in sound came when I got it off the ground with a riser. It allows the beater to hit dead center and opens up the drum because it is no longer being "muffled" from sitting on the floor. I really wasn't expecting such a drastic change, but I had significant increase in volume and a lower fundamental pitch. BTW, that is a really NICE kick drum!!

Hey Zac. I just got an 18" and bought a riser. How did you compensate for the abilty to get the pedal close to the rim like when you don't use a riser? I find that I have to mess with the beater positioning to get the beater to hit the batter head properly. It is messing with the feel of the pedal for me. Any advice is appreciated!
@zacdrake 4 жыл бұрын
@@ozziep123 I didn't have any issues. I did raise the front a little higher than the rear. This puts the head closer to the beater. I think the riser I use is a Gibraltar..adjustable height and clamps to the hoop. It works fine for me. No issue with chain rubbing the hoop and with the drum tilted back a little, the beater strikes at vertical

I love my 18" birch, too. But I switched to a ported (4") front to get rid of the beater recoil when I dig in. I tune very low and listeners are surprised when they realize the big boom is coming from a tiny bebop kit and I just tell them it's all in the tuning. I'm very petite, so my kit with the 10/14" toms and 13" snare also look proportional when I'm sitting on it.

In my opinion, 18 inch is perfect especially for the studio. It really blends in well with music. In my experience it can get tuned deep and boomy or light and sweet. I like the Evans Calftone head as my favorite so far. Big size 22 inch is totally unnecessary unless if you want that distinctive sound or maybe for live on stage for more volume

Henrik Hansson Great video. I started playing a bebop kit about six months ago and I was floored by the punchiness of the 18" bass. Even the 12 & 14 in. Toms if tuned properly produce a thunder frankly I hadn't expected. It's opened up my diversity in every way. I can play a rock/blues gig one night, retune everything up an octave and play jazz the next night without changing kits or heads. Good job showing how an 18" bass can be exploited to cover a wide variety of sounds.

I am amazed, and grateful to you and your channel. I also love the 18" Bass, and Istanbul Agop cymbals.

This is awesome info! I loved the various tones you were able to get. I'm going to do some experimenting on my 18" DW bop kit now that I've seen this. I've been pretty happy using an Emad batter and stock DW reso. When you use the wood beater, do you use patches to protect the head or just let the head wear? The first time I used my Danmar wood beater it didn't take long to put serious wear in the head. Also, do you use different batter heads on the bass drum for different sounds or just stick with a favorite? Thanks!
@BlairSinta 7 жыл бұрын
Thanks Erich. Usually only use a patch on my kick heads if I'm touring. I also let the beater rebound from the head which might help the life of it. I do use different batter heads but more on different drums as opposed to changing heads on one drum. That way I know what each drum's sound is. Then I pick the drum and tune it according to that. Thanks for your questions.

I noticed something you didn't mention is do you or do you not bury your beater into the head. I noticed that you don't. Which will typically give more of an opened more boom sound then when you bury your beater. I have a 18X18 Maple Keller shell kick drum with a 1-inch port. I use a Tama rubber beater on a DW 3000 pedal and I bury my beater and hit hard heal up. I also tune my batter side the same as my resonant side. I simply put a towel and a cinder block in the middle of the head and tighten each lug until every wrinkle is gone, then a quarter-turn more and that's it. I've been using this process with this kick drum for about 20 years now. and I cannot tell you how many compliments I get and how shocked other drummers are when they see that it's an 18 inch kick drum. Just food for thought and thanks for all the tips 🤘

@tonhueb429 6 жыл бұрын
Nice video! I like your example of the bop tuning, i've been trying to achieve that sound for years, however on my 18" bass drum i get very little low end and a lot of ringing overtones when i tune it high. How do you tune the front and batter head in relation to each other, are they the same pitch? also what heads do you use? i have coated ambassadors on both sides.
@BlairSinta 6 жыл бұрын
Hi, Thanks! Getting the heads close to the same pitch is helpful and cuts down on odd overtones..just like a tom or smaller drum. Or, just like in the video do some experimenting with where the front head sounds good with where the batter head is tuned (or vice versa) and see if you can find a sweet spot. I often find that the drum will "open up" at certain pitches or tuning relations. Ambassadors are great for the front head... like a P3 usually on the batter. Has a nice low tone fundamentally and plenty of resonance. Keep searching the tuning..my guess is that you'll find the low end.

My likes are prettty wide, which may complicate things. I tend to like Classic Rock (Beatles, the Who, Sweet, Alex Van Halen come to mind) of the late 60s to early 80s, and the stuff that Hal Blaine drummed on a bit earlier than that.

Usually smaller drums tuned higher cut more. It's always tricky to compete against non-acoustic instruments. If you're mic'ed up it shouldn't matter. If you're just playing acoustically hopefully your bandmates can find a medium with you. Obviously you'll need to lay into the drum though (regardless of size) if it's a loud situation.

Love my 18” compared to my 22”. Don’t put a hole in the front head or a thick Powerstroke on the beater side. Learn how to play it without planting the beater. I also use a wood beater. The best heads I’ve found are called Dynaton made for Taye Drums. If you do want a dead Rock sound out a drum, then get a 22” or a 24” preferably by 14” deep. If you have to get it out of an 18” then yes get a Powerstroke beater head with a small pillow or towel touching both heads lightly with a ported front head. That kills the fun of an 18” but you might need to do that depending on the sound you need. (Edit: And get a riser so that the beater hits closer to the middle.)

Is there any way to get rid of that boppy sound when mixing the kickdrum?? My 18 inch keeps bopping, I want a straight attack like for rock
@BlairSinta 6 жыл бұрын
Can you explain boppy a little better? Without totally knowing that term I’d say go for a lower tuning. The more the head “flaps” on the batter side the more attack. Maybe a beefier head too...
