Do you have any special tuning method for reducing the sustain on the larger toms?
Gavin Says:
Recently I've made an "O" ring for the inside of my 14" floor tom. I felt it was sustaining a little longer than I wanted. I made the ring about a 1/3 of an inch wide and just dropped it inside so it's resting on the bottom head. It acts like a gate and shortens the length of the note.
I don't like sticking things to the top head because it changes the attack of the drum.
