1-Ply vs 2-Ply Bass Drum Batter Comparison | Season Four, Episode 20

Think you know the differences between 1-ply and 2-ply bass drum batter heads from obvious to subtle? We were surprised by the results of this comparison and had a blast diving deep (as we always do) into the intricacies of these heads. Hear them compared at three different tunings, back to back, with plenty of contextual demonstrations.
