Hi Carbon
I'm using the 682 two ply mesh head with cone on my bass drum pad without any problems. I placed the beater slightly off-center and used a strip of duct tape on the mesh head where the beater strikes the head. Also, the tension is quite loose, like a real bass drum head. A patch would be even better maybe, but this solution is working just fine for me. The patch is only necessary if you're using a felt beater by the way.
Good luck!
