Our recent series on “How To Choose A Snare Drum Head” has already accumulated over 94,929 views – so today I’m excited to announce the “How To Choose A Bass Drum Head” series is ready to go!

In this video series, I’ll show you all the different bass drum heads in the Evans line-up. Each bass drum head is tuned to what I believe is its optimum range, and then I’ll demo it for you with close mics and room mics so you can hear exactly how it sounds.
