Hi: I cut a hole in my bass drum head to place a mic, but my beater keeps going in the hole..ha ha..just kidding. Seriously, do I cut a hole in the front head,...
Hi, Buying a head with a mic port already there is a good idea. Also, there is a product out there called Holz (I think that's the spelling). It has a...

These days whenever I have a chance I sit down with a Roland PD-8 in my lap and play rudiments. I don't really have a regimen since I'm just picking things up...
