I must say your previous set is great, even better than your current one.

Your bass reso, is that an Evans Retro-Screen? If so, how do you find it?

The ride is a 22" Paiste Colorsound 5, sucker's heavy and I love it..just don't have much use for it in the music I play anymore.

I do like the old set up better than what I got goin on now but the batter head for the 12" tom is busted wide open. Once I replace it I'll go back to that configuration. The reso is indeed a retro screen and I love it. Eliminates the hassle of tuning two heads to get a good sound and makes micing a cinch. Mic'd, un-mic'd that thing is loud.

Doesn´t it take a bit of tone out of the drum, seeing as the air inside it isn´t actually moving between two heads?

I have been thinking about these for a long time since I trigger various bass drum sounds from my drum so a solid, non resonating thud could work well, but then I noticed they only make them in 22" which is abit of a stretch for my 20".

@Brother_Bong: The Retro Screen is a mesh head similar to those found on electronic pads. Since it is......a mesh....and not a solid head it lets the air move straight out of the drum with no bounce between heads. This should create a dry solid thud sound, sorta disco in a way.

Danny Carey has been known to use them as well as a guy called SuNoAnBuKi.

Doesnt seem to take any tone out of the drum to me. Sucks they dont make them in 20" youd think they would.
