To deaden the sound !!!THE BARON HAS SPOKEN |

to give it a different tune i think... |

it makes the sound shorter. without it, the bass drum will vibrate longer, giving it an echoy, reverb like sound. adding a pillow or shirts make it short and thumpy. -Zeus |

Actually if you dont dampen the bass drum it sounds like shit. Its VERY loud and annoying, as i'm sure you could imagine. If you cant think of this: Pick ANY note of the musical scale, now amplify it 50 times. Now try using that note in a song instead of having a normal bass drum sound. |

the remo bass drum i've currently got is the only one i've played where no dampening is required - it sounds sweet as a nut the way nature intended :) |

basicaly it'll sound just like a tom, full resonance and full upper freq.. useful in rare occasion, but else who can say they don't like a very low and phat sound for a kick?=) |
