I got a indoor outdoor rug from walmart the other day that worked great for this. Get one that has a rubber bottom and is big enough for your kit and you to stand on. I played a show with this the other night and I didnt need the bass drum pedal holder that came with my Peace Manhattan kit. everythi...

The Falam slam pad is basically a sticker that you put on the bass head where the pad hits.
It muffles the sound a bit so it doesnt ring out so much.

I'm not sure what kind of the head the aquarian is.... I just know that it is fantastic. i love it.
I wish I was more help on that?

Hey thanks,

I've got an Aquarian preformance head on the kick drum with a falam slam pad.
Did that from a suggestion from someone on this board. It sounds nice and fat.
I've got my snare cranked pretty high too, so that may be making the bass sound more clear.

I'm also looking for a good crash/ride. I've seen folks recommending the Sabian AA 18" El Sabor. Is there any others that anyone would rcommend?.

My music style changes a lot so something in the neutral range?

@tikifreak, Try the Aquarian Performance II head on your kick side, with a small (2.5") Falam Slam pad. I'm loving the punch and depth I'm getting from mine. No additional muffling needed. I tried this combo with my Peace Manhattan set and it sounds awesome! Thanks for the tip. Nice bass drum s...

Hey All! New Peace Manhattan kit.

New to the board. I just got a Peace Manhattan kit off of ebay. I love it so far. I got a pair of 10" Zildjian hi hats for it and put a Aquarian preformance head on the kick drum with a falam slam pad. It sounds really good. I play mostly experimental geek rock. I'm putting out a rock/comic soo...
