fits in the position Explanation: To seat the head, simply press the center with the palm of your hand like giving CPR. Seating the head pulls the flesh hoop (the ring around the heads) into the channels of the rims and helps the head conform to the shape of the bearing edges of the drums. When you seat the head, you'll sometimes hear a cracking sound…don't be alarmed, this is normal. After you seat the head, you'll probably notice that the pitch of the head is now lower. This indicates that the head needed seating. Retighten the head and seat it again. If it stays at the same pitch, proceed with Step 5. http://pearldrum.com/media/education/drum-tuning.pdf [WITH OBJECT AND ADVERBIAL OF PLACE] Fit in position: upper boulders were simply seated in the interstices below' http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/seat -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2015-05-15 06:20:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Preparation It may be an old cliché that time is money, but whether you're paying for a studio, or just want to spend time making music, time does come at a cost of some sort, so it pays to prepare. At the very least, a kit should really have **seated heads**, ready for final tuning, before a session — because undertaking the tuning process from scratch can take some time. The first job is to ensure the head is 'centred': check that the drum's bearing edges run true (are flat and smooth), and that all hoops and 'circles' that create the cylindrical shape of the drum are well aligned. Much of the **seating process** is actually taken care of as the heads are tightened. http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/aug10/articles/drum-tuning.h... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2015-05-15 06:21:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In my first reference there is a photo of a person seating a drum head. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2015-05-15 06:23:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Seating Seating for a drummer is similar to a guitar player ‘stretching’ new strings to ensure that they don’t de-tune drastically under playing conditions. It takes up slack across the drum head but in particular it shapes the drum head to the bearing edge of the drum. There are two common ways of seating the head, weight and heat. Weight is by far the most common. Place both hands (as if you were giving CPR heart massage) in the centre of the drum and gently increase the weight on the head until it starts to take your full bodyweight, ‘bounce’ gently 2-3 times. (NB if you are a more substantial guy or gal, kneeling in front and leaning forward will suffice). The glue will very noticeably be heard to crack at this point if it has not done so already, this is normal. When demonstrating the seating procedure to students or at a clinic I make sure that the drum is on a carpet or other slightly cushioned surface and I stand on the drum head. Make sure you have a sound drumhead first! http://www.tunadrum.com/seating-a-drum-head |
