My toms are ringing / sustaining too much for my taste, how would you suggest I dampen the sustain?
Gavin Says:
Try making a thin "O" rings (about 1.5cms wide) and drop them inside those "ringing" drums.
The "O" ring should just rest on the bottom head inside. If it still rings too much - make a wider "O" ring - or a narrower one if the sustain is killed too much.
I would also try changing to Remo coated Emperors on the top. I have no particular method - except experience and perseverance.
