Hi Jon
Layering different materials on the back of the wooden batter plate will help some. Rubber and some dense wood maybe.
Probable no need to cover the complete batter head. Maybe not use sheet wood but rather break the construction up in different thickness and shapes spread randomly on the back surface using short screws to mount.
If you can get hold of it there exist a type of metal sheet that are made up of a thin sheet of metal, then a some kind of rubber and then a metal sheet on top. These sheets are very heavy and dense and are used in construction where sound proofing and resonance control are needed. I was given a small sample a few decades ago to test as batter head for electronic drums.

Emne: [Simmons Drums] bass drum pad noise
Hey guys, anybody have the issue with your bass drum pad sounding like a giant wooden box. not thru the brain, but just the pad itself. I've changed my bass drum beaters over to tennis balls, but the pad is still rally loud. I'm afraid to fill the inside with expanding foam or something because I don't want to damage the electronics or the value of the pad. any ideas I can try. Thanks, Jon
