What does a whole in a bass drum cover do?
I am not quite sure what you mean by "Bass drum cover"But I have a feeling you mean the front head called the Resonant Head of the bass drum.A hole allows for a mic to be placed somewhat inside the drum to capture the whole sound of the drum.
What has a lower pitch a bass drum or a cello?
A bass drum typically has a lower pitch than a cello. The bass drum produces deep, resonant sounds due to its large size and the way it is played, which generates low-frequency vibrations. In contrast, while a cello can produce low notes, its pitch range generally extends higher than that of a bass drum. Thus, the bass drum is generally considered to have a lower pitch overall.
What is a bass drum hoop?
A bass drum hoop is the outer rim of the bass drum that sandwiches the bass drum head to the actual shell of the bass drum.
What are the different parts of a drum?

What shape is a snare drum?
Your typical drum is a cylinder or shallow cylinder, with drum heads (the batter side, which you hit, and the resonant side, which is for more tone and sound quality) for the bases of the cylinder.
What are some techniques for achieving a deep and resonant sound on a tonal bass drum?
To achieve a deep and resonant sound on a tonal bass drum, you can try techniques such as using a larger drum size, tuning the drum to a lower pitch, using a felt strip or muffling device inside the drum, and experimenting with different beater types and striking techniques.

How is bass drum played?
There are three ways, depending on what kind of bass drum you have. A marching bass drum is on a harness that suspends the instrument from the drummer's shoulders. He (usually it's a guy that plays the bass drum because it's heavy, but ladies can play it too) plays the drum with two padded beaters, striking the heads in an arcing motion. A concert bass drum sits on a stand in front of the drummer. There's usually a cymbal on top of it. You play the concert bass drum with one beater, and the cymbal with a drumstick. A drumset bass drum is played with a pedal that has a beater on it. A drumset bass is a lot deeper (more space between the two heads) than the other two drums, and a lot of them have either a hole in the resonant (front) head or no resonant head at all.
How do you tune a bass drum?
A bass drum is tuned the same as any other drum - by adjusting the tension of the heads - tighter makes it higher pitched, looser makes it lower pitched. An even pitch tension all the way around the drum is a good place to start. It is important to stretch the head (or seat it) by tuning it above the pitch you desire and putting firm pressure in the middle of the head. Generally the batter head (the side your pedal is on) is tensioned slightly higher than the resonant head. Bass drums are usually tensioned just above the wrinkle point with an even tension or pitch at each lug (tuning key). A properly tuned bass drum should require practically no dampening (ie: pillow's, blankets, etc.) to achieve a great sound. The bass drum, for most musical styles, should be (the batter head) tuned deeper (lower pitched) by a 3rd, 5th or 8th (octave) below your largest and deepest floor tom. For precise tuning, you could remove the front resonant head and tune the back batter-side drum head. More batter head plies and/or thicker plies and/or more duct tape, will give you a deeper pitch. Use a piano or other tuning instrument to get the exact pitch you want. Alway tune a bass drum in a large room with at least 12 feet or more free space in front of the drum. Then, when the batter head is properly tuned, mount and tune the resonant head. No pillows or rugs should be in the bass drum, unless you have to do this for unusual reasons ! Better is to use an outside adjustable muffler near the edge of the batter head. The resonant head should be usually tuned one or more notes deeper than the batter head. It is best to listen at a distance with someone else doing the hitting and tuning. The two heads and the type of shell all cause interactions, and several small adjustments will be needed. Probably even most professional -level drummers don't tune their drums properly. For a precise tom or bass drum note, just use concert toms with no bottom head (or front head on the bass drum) This was popular with some drummers back in the seventies. Try playing your bass drum with no front resonant head ! You might like it for some musical styles. Adding a second or third (same sized or larger) drum-shell to the front of your bass drum (with duct tape to try at first) to make your bass drum a longer size will really add depth and power ! (Usually best with using only one head)

Is a bass drum tuned or intoned percussion?
Although A bass drum can be tuned by tightening its lugs using a drum key or a drum screw, A bass drum does not have a definite pitch so it is considered as an untuned percussion.
How does a drum make the sound it preduces?
If played with a stick, and if the drum has two heads (top & bottom); The stick strikes the top (batter) head, sending air through the shell of the drum, making the bottom (resonant) head resonate. This results in sound waves emanating from both batter head (attack), and resonant (pitch, tone & projection).
What is the difference between batter and resonant concerning drums?
A drum has a head or skin fitted to the top and bottom of the drum. The top head is called the batter head because this is the head or skin that you actually play on with the drum sticks.The bottom head is called the resonant head. This head is responsible for the audible tone of the drum.When a drum is tuned, both heads get tightened or loosened to achieve the right sound the drummer is after.

How can I set up a drum set using a diagram?
To set up a drum set using a diagram, start by placing the bass drum in front of you. Attach the pedal to the bass drum and position the hi-hat and snare drum to your left and right. Place the toms above the bass drum and adjust the cymbals to your preference. Use the diagram as a guide for the specific placement of each drum and cymbal.
