Any ideas on economy with bass drum heads

[sycle1]

I have had my Vdrums session set for four months and have blown out my first bass drum head.
Does anyone know what I can do to save on bass drum head wear, as I am a lead foot apparently.
All the best
cheers

Well, I use a bass drum beater patch (or whatever they are called). It seems to work good. So far I haven't noticed any wear at all, except for the felt beaters themselves. The one I have is an Evans Kevlar patch. I don't know if I have a "lead foot", but I tend to pound pretty hard at times.

You can also do a search for this subject, as this and all other subjects are always thouroughly discussed to death.

Thanks for the info.
I will look for some at the drum centre
I was just wondering how the kevlar patches would stick to the mesh head.
do they stick on ok?

Mine fell off after a while, so I used an epoxy glue, and now they stick.

Thanks for the help guys.
Epoxy is an excellent idea.
