DW Eco-X Project!
 
The drums (especially the bass) sound a little richer from the spectators view. But they should get dialed in just fine from the drivers seat. My 12" on all 3 DW kits sound killer from the driver's seat. Check the suspension system, you may be getting weird pressure on a tension rod making the top head wonky.

Thank you X, I will look into that!
 
Very nice arefish Congrats thats a beauty, you gonna leave that kick unported?
 
Beautiful kit Fish!...I'm sure it sounds great!
I knew this kit sounded good, but in my house with good acoustics I really have been blown away today. Thanks scorch!

Thank you nhz! Without having fiddled with the tuning yet, with the exception of the snare, the kick drum is the gem of this kit (although the floor toms might be a close second). The kick comes with two crescent moon shaped pillows Velcro'd to the inner shell, one resting against each head. The reso has six dime size holes that run along the perimeter. I'm using the plastic side of a DW beater and it sounds incredible. I've been playing a 20" kick so that might have something to do with it. Down the road I will buy a ported EMAD reso and EMAD batter, but I think I will leave the stock head alone.

Going from a 20" to a 22" does make a difference..also going from birch to maple does as well (maybe more so - this is not a knock against birch - to my ears it's just a more focused sound, whereas the maple is more open/resonant)...I went the same route with my two kits..yea..a maple 22' kick hits harder/louder/fuller than 20" birch..:)..in my drum room you can actually feel the 22" sound hit you in the chest (if you know what I mean)...
