Why do you put a blanket in a drum set?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Blankets are commonly put inside the kick drum to change the sound. It is usually used to dampen the sound to give a tighter low thud. Also prevents the sound from having a a higher toned sound from the kick drum heads from rattling too much. Some drummers prefer and old pillow. Feel free to try different objects and find the sound you like.

Being round creates the sound. When you hit it, the sound bounces off the walls of the drum and goes into the air. If it were square it would sound a bit different.

The shell of the drum, or the place you pound to create noise, is stretched over a circular opening on both ends of the barrel of the drum. The tension is the factor that determines the noise produced.

Asked by Wiki User

His nirvana kit was a Tama Artstar II, 24" kickdrum, 15 and 18inch toms and a 14×8inch artwood snaredrum.

He used an Aquarian hi energy snare batter head, remo pinstripes on the toms, and a remo powerstroke on the kickdrum.

The cymbals he used where zildjian A series, usually 15inch rock hihats, 18 and 20inch crashes and a 24inch medium ride. But sometimes he also used a 22inch heavy ride.

His more recent tour kit, used with Queens of the Stone Age, are DW Drums, with a pelham blue color, much like his signature Gibson model color. He uses 24inch kickdrum, 15, 16 and 18inch toms, with a 14×6,5inch snaredrum.

The cymbals he uses are 15inch Zildjian A series mastersound hihats, Zildjian A series medium ride (either 22 or 24inch) and a set of Paiste 2002 powercrashes (19 and 20inch).

Sometimes he optes for a Paiste 2002 ride alongside of some Zildjian A series crashes.

How do you change the pitch of the keyboard ( instrument )?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The only correct way to do this is to find a qualified organ technician (avoid electronic organ repair men) and ask him to re-pitch the organ. One would assume however, that any owner of a pipe organ (usually a church) has it serviced regularly so the technician who usually services the instrument should be the person to do it. I must state that radical re-pitching is not always advisable. I service many organs that were built during a time when the standard was A=435. Most are still at that pitch but those that have been raised have suffered for it. Re-pitching such an organ almost always requires many pipes to be trimmed to reach A=440 (or higher) and has a detrimental effect on the organ's overall tone and the tuning stability of the reed stops in particular not to mention being very expensive as at least double the amount of time of a regular tuning is required.
