Hi guys. This is my first post on here, read all 11 pages
Thanks for the video HF! Thanks for the advice others!
My guitarist has done the mod with a Roland head, I have yet to try it with the Roland but I did notice a positive difference in playability and sensitivity with the foam/internals mod, then putting the mylar back on while he was waiting for the roland to come in.
I am about to try this on my DM10 Studio, it seems there is enough knowledge and advice on this thread to get me through it.
I'm just not sure about what heads to buy. Everybody loves the billy blast, but they are white. The kit is black, surely they would look sooo sexy with black heads, like the stock mylars. Can anybody recommend black mesh heads (Pearl/682drums etc..)??
Apart from the colour, I'm not keen to try the roland heads because of many people complaining about more-than-natural rebound. (and the obvious price tag) - I am a kit drummer, but I use the Alesis for some midi tracking, so the closest to acoustic feel as possible would be awesome (whilst still minimising noise)
any help is appreciated
ps. It might be worth mentioning that I am a reasonably hard hitter (but I'm no Mike Portnoy) - I use 3A wood tips and felt beaters
