Most drummers think about muffling in terms of the amount but this completely ignores the fact that there are actually two entirely different TYPES of muffling; restrictive and mass loading. We’ll demonstrate the opposite effects as well as the similarities and help you decide what the right approach is for desired sonic effect.
UPDATE: Unfortunately we didn’t see this one coming but it seems that a lot of people are watching this and thinking that internal mufflers are the only forms of restrictive muffling- that’s not the case though. Anything that’s able to press against the drumhead with more than the force of gravity is a restrictive muffling method. Felt strips, drum clips, active gate mufflers are all forms of restrictive muffling.
