Ep. 23 How to Tune a Bass Drum For Jazz

Support Sounds Like a Drum on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SOUNDSLIKEADRUM Where modern rock bass drum sounds tend to be short and punchy and a lot of low end, jazz bass drum sounds have a bit more tonal presence with a warm sustain that lasts a bit longer. In the absence of a felt strip or internal muffling (which aren't 100% necessary) here are the methods we'd recommend for achieving a variety of sounds. As with our previous episode, we’ve introduced an AKG D112 as a close mic on the resonant side of the drum to help illustrate the bass frequency presence. Each demo is A/B’d with just the C414 and then with the addition of the D112.
