How important are the bottom skins?

Hi everyone!

I've been doing some reading on the various skin types (e.g. pretty good article here: Drum Tuning Tips), and now have a pretty good idea of the various types of skins available, and how they affect the drum tone.

What I would like to know is how important are the bottom skins? For example, if I'm replacing single-ply for double, does it make that much difference that the bottom skin is changed too? How about leaving them off altogether (as I've seen in some kits). Also, for the kick drum in particular, does the bottom (front) skin really make that much difference, especially if the skins have holes cut in them anyway?

Many thanks for any shared wisdom/experience!
(I'd like to experiment, but $$$$, y'know?)

You hit the nail on the proverbial head with your advice to experiment. Something I learned over time is that even with a Drum Dial or Tension Watch because hoop design and hoop material varies from set to set, there really is no set rule for tuning or chosing heads. What's relevant is the sound that pleases you. Experimentation will give you the experience needed to get a good tune on.
