Yes, but it is not recommended if the drum was designed to have a bottom head as the shell might lose its shape over time.
Beater pads will make the drum head last longer. So if you like the head you got, use a pad.
To tune a drum head for optimal sound quality, start by tightening the tension rods evenly around the drum. Use a drum key to adjust the tension until the drum head is evenly stretched and produces a clear, resonant sound. Experiment with different tensions to find the best sound for your drum.
Sticks. Dont use your head...not good for health
24" bass drums.
Five really, for the basic kit. Bass, snare, hi-hat (orig. called the Charleston Pedal, apparently), ride cymbal, tom-tom. That 5 will cover a lot of arrangements especially if you are inventive and proficient with the snare-drum and cymbal; but you can add extra tom-toms, cymbals of various sizes, a second bass-drum, wood-blocks, cow-bells and so on. You can also use different "sticks" - the basic sticks with wood or plastic tips, brushes (used a lot in jazz and dance-band styles), and for special effects tympani beaters and slap-sticks.
Well if i can make a pvc pipe drum shell and use (i dont know what to use yet) for a drum head, you should totally be able to make a drum out of wood and plastic, you might need a few metal parts from a drum though.
Use sticks or brushes for the snare. Sticks for tom-tom, and suspended cymbal. A foot pedal activates the mallet for the bass drum, and another foot pedal activates the high-hat cymbals.
Drums use resonance when struck, causing the skin or head to vibrate and produce sound. The resonance of the drum shell amplifies and enhances the sound produced by the vibrations of the drum head, giving the drum its characteristic tone and sustain. Different materials and construction methods can affect the resonance of the drum, influencing its overall sound.
15x14. Nirvana's drum tech confirmed it.
To properly tune a floor tom drum, start by tightening the tension rods evenly around the drum. Use a drum key to adjust the tension until the drum produces a clear and resonant sound. Make sure the tension is consistent across all rods to maintain a balanced tone. Experiment with different tensions to find the desired pitch and tone for the drum.
The bass kick drum in a full drumset utilizes a type of mallet. Tympani drums also use this.
The drum was made out of wood, and the drum head was made from animal hide, tied down by rope made from horse hair.
