Snare without moon gel sounds like St Anger

Hey Michael! Thanks for creating this video! It's an awesome demonstration of just how much Moongel improves your sound! Hope you don't mind but we liked it so much we added it to one of playlists on our channel! :)

There's a lot of difference... thanks for sharing this. ;) Greetings from Chile.

Definitely hear the diff.Just bought my 2nd kit.I had my first one in 1968 at age 7. They were Slingerlands.Bought a new Gretsch kit at age 60.There’s been so much innovation since the 60’s & 70’s.Looking forward to crawling behind a kit again……53 years later.Thanks for your video on showing how to mute.I plan on coming back for more help from you.

Definitely a difference. Keep your posture bro you gonna have some neck and back problems lol.

I have some high frequency hearing loss, but even I heard a great improvement. The moongel really tamed the snare!

I use $1 Window clings, works perfect too

Great vid. Gonna try some gels on my snare tonight

Let them ring!!! When you play live, you'll get some natural compression from the overall volume of the band and many of those overtones will either disappear in the mix or be desirable. If you are recording, a dampened kit will disappear in the mix and sound flat when it is compressed by a post processor. If you are close-miking and recording, then you must have your top and bottom heads are in tune. When you're tuned, you will hear a nice consistent decay. To accomplish that, tune your bottom head first to a desired note, then tune your top head starting from low tension, increasing the tension until it starts to sound "flabby". At that point, your getting close, keep increasing tension until the flabby sound is gone and you will be left with a nice decay. If you go to tight the drum will ring it will ring. That's all there is too it. Now, getting the entire kit tuned is a bit more of a process because each drum may interact with other drums and cause overtones. That is something you can prevent too but it takes time, patience and experience. A well tuned kit will create very desirable over tones once you get each drum tuned to one of the following conditions: 1) the same note, an octave higher, small tom large tom 2) A full step above another drum 3) A half step above another drum. Do this, and like magic all ring will stop. This rule applies to all of the drums, snare, tom, floor tom, kick drum. Piece of cake.... lol............ stop dampening!!!

Thank u for this video :)))

What cymbals do you use? They sound amazing and kinds vintage.

Great improvement to kill the overtones (parasite sounds) and get your own style of sound.

I dont play any instrument but i hear it dampens and decreases the high tone when hit the snare or any drum

You kill the overtones, thx for that!!...I could apply some digital reverb further...

I wouldnt put moon gels on my rack toms. I actually like hearing em sing. Now for the floors and the snare? Eh maybe

So which kind of heads would replicate the sound of these heads with a moongel on them?

Yeah it takes the crap that you don’t want and brings out the best in your drums👍

yup. ;)

Wie sieht das denn bei den cymbals aus, hat mann genau den Effekt wie bei dem Snare drum.😅😅😅😅😅😅

Better with moon gel

maan, lars ulrich needed a moongel in st anger

I like the Sound without the Pads more.
