Yeah, I know.
Technically, this is some kind of copyright infringement.
But since I don’t plan to sell mine, I figure no harm, no foul.
Pearl’s design retails for $25.
My copy, which cost less than five bucks in materials.
The idea, I think, is to muffle the worst of the overtone ring, which my design does pretty well.
I suspect making it with suede would work better as the suede offers more flexibility, but I can just play with the leather to work it a bit and eventually achieve the same result.
I noticed that in the customer reviews, someone said Pearl’s design was faulty because you couldn’t keep it from popping off the tension bolt when playing a rim shot or loud accent. My thinking is that ther user might be faulty because if you’re muting the drum, why would you 0ay, you know, loud?
It’s a good design, and works nicely on my new-old drum.
