About Bass Drums

The bass drum (also known as the ‘kick’) is one of the essential parts of the drum kit, and in most music will be the lowest frequency instrument heard.  The bass drum is the foundation of most popular music, and should be felt as the driving force behind a song, as it is linked closely with the bass line.

The kick drum is struck with a beater which is attached via a chain to a pedal, enabling it to be struck with the foot alone. The beater is usually made of wood or plastic, and is often covered in some sort of cloth – similar to an orchestral mallet.

 The following bass drums are curently for auction on Ebay:

I'm wondering what the best way to dry the paint and preserve it is. I've thought about trying hairspray and I've heard to try powder, but both of those were referring to paint on skin, not wood.
Any thoughts?

It's not that the octoban isn't good quality. If it's Tama it should be made well. I wouldn't get the octoban because I'm still not that skilled in rhythm yet. If I add more pieces to my set, it is sure to distract me from my real concern-rhythm.

I've been trying for almost 2 years and pretty much gave up in the time just having them kinda closely tuned but you could tell the difference still. Anyone have a 2 bass drum set and have a good method to have them sound the exact same?

I know the basic 4 by 4 beat, but I don't have a drum kit to practice on. I live in an apartment so I need a good electric drum kit to plug head phones in. What's the best drum kit like that?

I'm effectively a beginner. For convenience reasons, an electronic kit would be preferable to an acoustic one. However, I am concerned that learning on an electronic kit would influence my touch/feel.
Also, are there particular kits/pads that are preferable?
