That's cool - looks like you had a soundman that knew how to deal with the full head /no mic hole presentation. Some sound guys are really uncomfortable with that. What a great sound that is, though I do have to fight a little beater bounce/flutter with no mic hole sometimes.

Is the kick mic a D6? More of a modern, scooped sound to that mic, but vey dependable/repeatable.
 
Posting here to remind me of this thread later. I've got a Saturn on the way with a 24" kick :)

Should be here in a month or two. In the meantime, I'll just keep staring longingly at the DW kitbuilder image I made.

Love the pic guy's!

My only 24 is a late 70's Ludwig 3ply 14x24.
Love it, but my regular bass drums are 26's (16,18, 2-20" depth).

Personally, I'd not go smaller than a 24 on a kit. People like different things, so if something smaller works for someone else, great. For me, it's a 24 on up.

same. love me some big ol' drums. i like the sound of smaller drums, but there just not the same
 
24" isn't that big, unless you're used to 18 & 20" kicks I guess!

I have a few, here's my touring kick:

It doesn't appear to be a 'big' drum, but it's overshadowed by a lot of stuff, and I sit a bit high.
