Has anyone doubled up on quad heads on the two outside drums. I just did this to one of my drums, and it sounds cool, has a tight but deep sound with a papery sound effect! And by doubling the head I mean taking two seperate heads and putting them on the drum one on the of the other!
Okay, really making sure you specify. Do you mean double rimming(hooping) as in cutting the head out of the rim and placing it where the head should be and then putting an actual drum head on top of that or do you actually mean putting two drum heads on top of each other?
He did specify two drum heads. No i've never done that becuase 1: It's a waste of a head (and we're always low on tenor heads), and 2: Don't see any point unless you want that sound.
Yeah it sounds like it would be good for a sound effect but what would you do if you had to march a full show like that and you need the original sound of one head
Hmmm...... It's a good sound effect for solo and ensembles, after I finish learning Phantom of The Phield I'm gonna do double up drum 4 and then see how it sounds all together.

thats why you have 12 tenors 6 with and 6 without so you dont have that problem
