| Hi I've been listening to a recording I made in an outdoor setting today with a jazz quartet. I confirms what I thought at the time: my 16x 14 Mapex bd mounted on a bass drum lift and using a Mapex P700 pedal is way too loud. Every 8th note is coming through. I'm using a felt beater and don't think I'm kicking that hard. Please help I don't know how to quieten it |

Got your email Andy, email sent.
I hope either of my two products might help. These will be launched at NDF, near Birmingham, last week end of September. |

| Marcus I've responded and look forward to getting the remedy. I may also do a write up on this site if that's ok. |

That would be great, but possibly to include both accessories once launched. |

| Andy, it's now in the post so you should have it in time for Friday's gig. The 1 and 2 on it tell you how many layers there are. Squeak might stitch some production ones, but your one, being a prototype was hand-stitched by me; Squeak's stitches are all hemi-semi-demi quavers, mine are a mix of minims, quavers, semi-breves and crotchets and a whole mess of different time sigs! Hope it works. Cheers! |

Getting sacred? Bless you!
It's alright, it works fine, just not as neat as production ones will be.
PayPal sorted, cheers, first sold before even being in production! |

| Hope it is useful! I am about to leave to spend a few days with Squeak, taking materials and sewing gear so we will be stitching away on the sofa like two old Grannies! |

| Will post photos later, one device, which Andy went for, is like an elastic "sock" Muffler which fits over the beater and is pulled tight with a cord and cord lock; it has two impact pads on it of 1 and 2 layers of synthetic lamb's wool for a softer sound. The other is like a multi-rod beater with fibre-glass rods. I have been using both on my own kits for years and suddenly thought it would make sense to produce some for other people! I had a jam last night with two friends (steel string guitar and mandolin, both acoustic and un-amplified) and was using one of the Beater Mufflers to keep things in control volume wise. The Beater Rods give a quieter sound too, but as the rods contact there is a bit of click to give nice definition to the sound. |
