That always drove me kind of nuts as well. I started getting much better results putting a coated single-ply on the resonant side, then following my normal tuning protocol (resonant head tuned consonant to batter, or up a third, depending on what worked better for the situation).penningtron wrote: Tue Nov 23, 2021 10:10 am Don't feel too bad about struggling with floor toms, I do too.

and a decksaver for it arrives today. This thing is a beast.
That's rad. Congrats. Livestream that shitTom Wanderer wrote: Thu Dec 02, 2021 11:23 am Speaking of Harmony...
Half an hour ago I picked up an early 60s Harmony lap steel, DeArmond pickup. $80 from a dude on Craigslist. It's the version with the chrome ashtray instead of the big black Harmony branded one. Just like this;

It also has an AP&M Co. brass slide nut fitted over the plastic one. It's a beauty. Just a little of the copper paint flaking off at the butt end. Can't wait to hear how it sounds!
Ha! Thanks. My wife plays lap steel. She shreds. I'm excited for her to try it. She currently plays a mid 60s Airline that I got at a thrift store in Aurora for $50 bucks like 20 years ago. I guess I have good luck with lap steels.Bubber wrote: That's rad. Congrats. Livestream that shit
Good idea! I don't know why I stubbornly persist with clear 10mils on the bottoms of floor toms.offal wrote: Thu Dec 02, 2021 11:57 amThat always drove me kind of nuts as well.
