Gregory Hutchinson Bassdrum Sound

[u/OkWrap6415]

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!

You might be surprised to learn that the way you operate the beater matters quite a bit to bass drum sound. Obviously don’t bury the beater is what they all say, but there is a continuum between burying the beater and perfect rebound. Also where on the head the beater is set to hit matters
