I haven't installed it yet because i'm still in the process of restoring the actual bass drum it will be installed on.

Once that's done, i'll give it a test drive both at home and miked up at my next gig and will let you guys know !Yes Sir

I've done it with oil paint and a sponge. Yes, it muffles quite a bit, but it sounds warm (calf-like) and looks good. Somehere someday I'll make a nice landscape like back in the days
