Foam recommendations?
« on: June 06, 2016, 04:53:14 AM »
Hi all,

Looking for decent foam inserts for my Alesis kit for my mesh heads (DM-10x)

Looking here:

Any suggestions?

TIA

I got that in the 1/4" (I don't know what that is in Canadian...) and it worked like a charm.
Here this whole time I thought you were the troll with a heart of gold. Instead you're just a troll with a real troll's heart.

My pleasure! What heads you using?

Also, two other tips when switching to mesh: one of those little mylar or kevlar pads for the kick drum, nylon tip sticks.

Happy drumming!

I have mesh but I used cones which I don't really like so I want to just want to switch out the cones for some foam - which I think will make a more even sound.

I just ordered a roll of this foam in 1/4"

It is identical to the original grey foam in the Alesis heads.
