Emad. It's warmer and less plastic sounding which I prefer.

The purpose of “breaking it in” is to set the head and make sure it’s connected to the bearing edges properly. Good test. I play the EMAD as well

Emad for me. I heard they released an emad 56' calftone. I cant wait to try it out with my 20" Vintage Maxwin by Pearl. I estimate by what I've seen on the internet that its a late 70s Made in Taiwan. I havent played it yet. Still waiting for the calftones to arrive. Probably gonna go with eq4 calftones on reso.

@@ZackZweifel I can't wait for mine to arrive. Im a total drumhead nerd. I love trying new gear, new tunings, new cymbals.. etc.... I get bored easily and need changes often. So my 8pc double bass kit becomes a 4pc bop kit sometimes. My favorite kit right now is a tiny set for toddlers. I repainted them and put diplomats on them. They sound killer. Perfect for porch fests.

Which beaters are those, gentlemen? I'm kinda impressed right here I never trigger, and for me it's a science to get a clicky sound from the drums acoustically, and then proccess it (which less and less people are doing today). As a matter of fact, even the people who go honest about acoustic drums w/ no sample are taking the easy path of the "no reso head + coin in the beater" formula. By the way this beater sounds way better than the wooden ones I've seen Respect for this kind of tone you got accoustically like a real man, bro! That's how it's done... besides, a comprehensive walkthrough - you're sharing your best knowledge for free. Worth a billion likes and followers indeed... Stay awesome! Cheers from Brazil

Thanks man! That's super awesome and I greatly appreciate the comment and compliments. And I agree with you 100%. I don't want any gimmicks or tricks. I'm using the DW Sound Control Beaters. I did a review on them. They are my favorite beater for sure. Three different heads to choose from, 5 different weights to choose from and self adjustable!

The GMAD seemed like it had more attack. But it was hard to tell because there was so much time on the tape that separated the 2 heads.

Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback! On my next comparison video I'll keep the transitions shorter so the sound comparisons are closer. Appreciated!

I love that the clear emad still lets the kick resonate and boom, but I wanted something more durable and got the heavyweight and hated how choked and dry it makes the kick. Is the Gmad a good in between?
@ZackZweifel8 ай бұрын
yeah it basically goes like this: EMAD Single ply 10mm, GMAD Single ply 12, EMAD2 Two ply 10mm. So the GMAD is in-between the EMAD and EMAD2

How tight do you have your bass reso? I’ve definitely had my heads much tighter than yours for years but I’d like to try this setup.
@ZackZweifel5 ай бұрын
The reso I do hand tight like the batter but then I give it a little more tension. This for me helps still give it some tone. I basically take the key and once it starts getting some pressure I stop turning the key. Hopefully that makes sense
@brandonlange22959 ай бұрын

EMAD just sounds much better to me and yes GMAD does have that plastic sound at impact. May need to tighten more??

Bass drum mic gain was turned up too high that the sound had a popping echo sound. Also I couldn’t hear the difference cause that the first time the sound a video was coming from the batter view side and then you switch to sound the front resonant head side for the 2nd bass drum head.

why use mads with dampening inside the bass drum? also cant really compare used coated apples to new clear oranges. of course clear sounds better.🍻

You know.. I've taken out the pillow and still just like it a hair more with even more dampening. Style preference I guess? I know they aren't apples to apples comparison but thought I would still let people hear the difference since I could.
