Do you prefer to have the bass drum empty, or with something such as a blanket to muffle the sound?

Hollow, or stuffed kick?

« on: April 18, 2009, 09:40:32 PM »

Recently, my bass head got a hole in it from about 8 months of playing. I took an old broken snare head, cut a few pieces, and taped them over the hole, and it works like news, well, almost. Anyway, I have had a blanket in my bass since the day I bought my set, and decided to take it out to see how I like the sound. I have found that I actually like the sound a lot more without the blanket inside.

Just wondering what some of your opinions are.
