I’ve been on the fence for a while about trying something like this (or even halfway ‘dead’) with my kit at home. I love how you acknowledge the impact of the sound of the room itself, doors open/closed. So many people ignore all of the different variables that go into the sound of any instrument or voice or mix. I lead worship at a church that uses a pretty small venue, and a very lively room. I can see this type of set up for drums working super well in that context as most of our sets tend to be acoustic. Great work and thank you so much for sharing your process! You could’ve done a really quick two minute overview, but, showing how thorough you are in your process, speaks to the depth and seriousness that we should all use for our own context.

Nice advice. I didn't care much for a dead sound but the information from trial and error is invaluable. It's something I just haven't tried. And the playing here with the duo really made me more of a fan of this sound - nice tasteful beats & chops. Good music too. That Fluff beater I like because with a somewhat high tune for me, it gives it a sound of the bass from subs in the trunk of car that I like for a hip hop sound I guess. I use to always tune drums just based on getting an even tension. And it worked for a general 'sound', but after Aron's tuning video I realized how resilient drum heads are, and you can tune them a lot without needing a new head every time you go too high or something; and maybe most important tune to a even sound around all the lugs but also feel it out, find where the head wants to be with your preferred head tension. I like to play off the rebound so I usually tension high, but don't want a jazz style tuning too. Kind of in the middle. Ive found it's possible. Thanks man, you inspire 🤙

I was just about to set my old kit back up that I've hardly ever played and only know a basic beat on but I really want to learn breakbeats and funk beats like the Interstate 76 soundtrack and this setup will be great for taht.

I discovered the relationship between transients and tone several years ago when tracking records at home. Songs that I recorded in a mellow way always sounded phat and loud. I haven't really heard anyone talk about this until I found your videos. I heard a similar thing from some guitarists. They say if you turn an amp up super loud and play softly it sounds huge. Anyway, thanks for the video! I'm going to take my bottom heads off and try this whole set up. Cheers!

Somehow this has ben incredibly hard to do for other people (and drum machine manufacturers, sheehs, DR-600 was the last one with enough simplicity). Thank you so much for sample set you made!
