Getting more rebound

[Disgrace]

Is there anyway to keep the low tone of loose headed toms while still getting the nice rebound of higher tensions? I love the tones of my toms, but the rebound is pathetic. Possible heads that tend to have a lower tone maybe?

Coated or 2 ply.

How low are you tuning the top head? Also keep in the mind the bottom head plays as much, if not more of a role in the pitch.

You'll also just need to work on your technique and playing. There's still a TON of rebound off even very 'dead' heads. And regaurdless of tuning, larger toms are just going to take more effort then smaller ones.

Technique!

[Disgrace]

Both of my heads are at there lowest possible pitch. I would like to think that my technique is fairly good, but I might need to work on it, since we are still in marching season up here, so I have been playing a bass drum in band since July. I am playing coated ambassadors at the moment. Thinking coated Emps. next time, and I will tune up probably, I like both low and high toms, its the people who try to stay in the middle that bother me.

Is the username Alexisfine a play on the band name "Alexisonfire"?

You'd probably have heard it before but practice on a pillow. Will make low tuned heads seem like... sex. >_>

<_<

That's the only word I could think of. >_>
