Would you put a DW front bass drum head in a PDP drum?

Question

Hey guys
I just bought a PDP by DW F Series (F7) and I would like to know your opinion about changing the original bass drum head (with PDP logo) for a drum head only with a DW logo.

It's a PDP, not a DW.. so it would be weird.. wouldn't it?

Answer 1

I'm assuming you want everyone to think you play a DW set.....kind of weak dude.



Not sure who you are trying to impress if that is your plan. If you are a good player then you could play 4 tin cans and a trash can cover and no one will care. If you suck and play a nice set...then people will think you're a dumb musician and paid for an expensive set when you can't play. Or if you aren't a good player, put a DW head on a PDP set...they will think you're a poser.



Listen, I'm just keeping it real my friend. Just play the darn drums. In the times I've played out with bands I've played a Yamaha Recording Custom, a Ludwig Vistalite, a 1964 ludwig blue oyster peal kit and a CB kit. you know what, it doesn't matter what you play, if you lay it down and the music sounds good no one gives a crap what you're playing. I actually used my CB practice kit when I played dive bars as I was paranoid the nice kits would get beat up to much.

Dw Drum Heads

Answer 3

Depends on why you want to change the resonant head for. If just to try to make your set look fancier, then I agree with the first person that is a pretty lame reason. I myself own a PDP X7 kit, and I replaced the all the PDP heads with DWs including the resonant bass head with a DW logo. I did this not for looks, but only for the fact that the DW front bass head is vented with small holes, giving the bass the punch I was looking for. The DW heads by Remo are better quality heads then the stock heads that came with the kit.
