OK, i have a 24x18 kick drum and have always used the common practice of a pillow inside the drum to dampen it. however, everytime i set my drums up at a gig i have to stick my hands in the porthole and move it around etc to get it in the right place and maybe im just lazy but, it annoys me! plus the fact i hate the way you can see the pillow through the ports. i have however seen the method of putting a strip of fabric under the batter head to eliminate the need for a pillow etc.
so, basically before i do this to try it out i just wanna know if any of you guys use this way or should i just stick with the pillow? also, what fabric is best? im guessing felt? how wide should it be? and do i stretch it right across the middle of the drum or keep it off centre?
a bit of advice would be good before i give it a go please!
thanks,

P.S i have a remo powerstroke 3 batter head if that makes any difference.
