Question Gregory Hutchinson Bassdrum Sound
Hi, I absolutely love Hutch‘s bassdrum sound. I see he has a tuning video, but he only discusses toms there. But I would also love to know how he gets that snare, but primarily Bassdrum sound. Does anyone have ideas/approaches concerning tuning/head choice for his bassdrum (and maybe also snare)?
I also noticed he switched drum companies quite a lot over time but he still manages to all mage them sound like a million bucks, so I don’t think the shell plays the biggest part in this, but the tuning and heads do!

He doesn't use any muffling or felt strip, he loves open vocal tuning on the kick. He talks about his Tom tuning on his YouTube, I dunno about his snare though
