From the looks of the picture he's got the coated heads on. But maybe he just doesn't like how he tuned them. Nice kit tho, another kind of drum head thats good is the "Smooth Whites". But it's all a matter of prefrence

I strongly disagree with your statement.There's nothing wrong with rings,it's better than having stupid tape getting in a sticks way. I use Remo coated Pin striped Ambassadors (which can be hard to find in most stores around here) I was also wondering if the people who disagree with that statement have ever even tried Zero Rings on their drum sets. I know i like the warm tone that i get and wouldn't play without them.Well maybe i would Reverb, It's A Way Of Life! Last edited: Mar 13, 2009 23:14:17 |

Yes I was. These are sillier than tape. And I don't see any tape on Kyle's heads either. http://www.satanspilgrims.com |

If you put on the Remo Muffls, the plastic tray with the foam ring (at least thats what they used to call them), you'll totally kill the tone out of toms. No resonance whatsoever. It's roughly the equivalent of hitting a cardboard box. They DO work well for 22" or larger bass drums, depending on the sound your shooting for. —Shawn Martin |

When I first started working in a studio in the early 80s I was appalled at how much crap engineers talked drummers into putting on their kits- duct tape, paper towels, a wallet on the snare, a ring of foam inside the kick, and then dead ringers. "Dead Ringers"- sh!t who wants dead drums? And then they'd stuff the drummer into an iso booth. "That's how Fleetwood Mac does it" one guy told me. No wonder drums in the 70s sound like crap, and no wonder the Linn Drumm practically took over the recording world. A well tuned and maintained kit shouldn't have rings and vibrations. And if it does, let them ring louder and go with it as something you can work with. </rant> —Buy Speed of Dark @ Bandcamp |

Those Remo Muffls totally blow,and i wouldn't suggest them to anyone. I do agre that they do work well for the bass drum though.It really gives more punch then anything I've ever used.It's like having your bass drum mic'd all the time. —Reverb, It's A Way Of Life! |

Ferenc and Ted are dead on with snare and tom muffling. You need those overtones for the drums to sound alive. Rimshots are an institution in surf drumming. —Science friction burns my fingers. |

Ha... not in public! With so many awesome drummers around, why pollute the planet with my noise? Here is my kit, basically the same as Ron's posted earlier in this thread. Buy Speed of Dark @ Bandcamp |

The only muffling I ever used was a couple inch felt strip on the bass and a tiny loop of duct tape on the snare batter. And this is with single ply heads on the snare and toms. Most drummers listen to a snare by itself and think that the ring is way too overpowering. When your playing with people, that ring is what helps it cut through the rest of the frequencies. —Shawn Martin |

and buy some Zero Rings from Remo.I'm going to assume you put that tape on there to kill the buzzing sound.I always hated seeing that ugly tape on drum heads ,or even worse ,on cymbals 
That's always been a pet peev of mine .Sorry! 
What do you mean man? 
I'm guilty of using one of these (Remo Muffls) on my 22" bass drum. But I like the sound, dammit!
