摘要： A drum pillow for use in a bass drum is disclosed herein. The drum pillow can be permanently or removably inserted into the interior of the bass drum shell. The preferred embodiment of the drum pillow is used to “deaden” or modify the sound, esp. overtones, of the bass drum during live performances, particularly when the drum is being struck by a typical foot-operated bass beater. An alternate embodiment is designed for use in studio recording sessions, where the situation calls for an even “deader” sound. Also disclosed herein is a method for using the drum pillow for the purposes described.
