Control.
Shape your sound through simple adjustments on the gig or in the studio. No climbing inside the drum, no arranging of blankets and pillows, no sticky adhesives - these methods are all static.
Tone.
Full, resonant and natural. An empty bass drum more closely relates to the sound of other drums, creating a more sonorous family of instruments. Think of how string instruments create a cohesive sound when joined together in an orchestra.
Versatility.
The great variety of modern musical styles often encountered on a single gig, demand adaptable sound control. Externally applied tone control can be adjusted anytime.
"With my 22" bass drum for big band, or an 18" bebop drum tensioned high, the Gary Chaffee Bass Drum Muffler controls overtones for each style with ease!"
- Steve Fidyk
"During the course of a concert, I can make the bass drum sound like a little bebop drum with tone or a “dead-er” studio bass drum with one simple adjustment. It’s an indispensable accessory!”
- Steve Houghton
