Not all kick drums are created equal, and one of the most important things

governing the sound of a drum, be it snare or tom or kick, is actually the drum's size.

Kick drums range in size from a punchy 20 inches to a comically huge 24 or 26 or 28 inches.

Welcome to Strong Songs, a podcast about music.

I'm your host, Kirk Hamilton, and as always, I'm so glad that you joined me to talk about

music played with 20 inch kick drums, and pretty much just that, because I only have a 20

inch kick drum.

Strong Songs is a one-man operation totally supported by listeners like you.

Thank you all so much if you support Strong Songs over on Patreon, and did you know that

if you become a patron, you can get access to bonus mini-sodes that I make where I talk

about extra stuff that I didn't have time to get into on the show.

On this episode, the mailbag is open yet again, and its time to answer a whole bunch more

of your most burning musical questions.

We've got all kinds of counting questions, questions about mystery sounds, questions about

singing and vocal technique, so many questions so little time.

So hey, let's get into it.

All right, everyone, and here we are for another Strong Songs mailbag.

I am excited as always to get into your questions, and if you would like to send a musical question

my way, send it to listeners at StrongSongsPodcast.com, I read all my email, and I have a huge mailbag,

a sort of huge hopper of questions that I'm always sort of scrolling through before I make

each one of these episodes, picking a nice mix of questions that'll let me hit a variety

of topics.
