BASS DRUMS

The bass drum or the kick drum. The fact that this instrument has got more than one name is enough proof of its importance. Many drummers say it’s the heart of a drum kit (along with the snare). If so, a self-respecting drummers’ website just cannot ignore this topic. We will test and present all kinds of bass drums from all manufacturers imaginable (Pearl, Tama, DW, Yamaha, Gretsch, Mapex, Dixon, Singerland, Remo, Ludwig, Premier, Natal, Sonor, British Drum Co., Manic Drums, Q Drum), made from dozens of wood types (maple, birch, oak, walnut, bubinga, ash, wenge, and countless oriental woods). We will show what they sound like when miked with the help of mics from all the top manufacturers and with skins from all the best companies on.
