But I guess there is no such way around if I want to find out for real... !
Just buy another head with a port in it.

Obviously I know I have to find my "prefered sound". I just wanted some tips before cutting a hole in a "not quite cheap" kick drum head to experiment :) But I guess there is no such way around if I want to find out for real... !

thx
As mentioned a few times already. Buy a second front head with a hole. Try them both. Use them as needed. Way easier than cutting a hole. Especially if you screw up cutting the hole.
