I have a mapex saturn pro kit. The bass drum size on my kit is 22x18. Because of the bass drum leg mounts and because of the tom holder mount the bass drum will not fit into a 22x18 case. It fits in a 24x18 case though. The thing is that this is a big case and very cumbersome to lug around. So i have been thinking about selling my mapex kit and getting a yamaha tour custom kit that has a bass drum that will fit into a 22x18 bass drum case.
But i am wondering if the 2 inch difference of a 24x18 case and a 22x18 case is really going to make that much of a difference when it comes to the weight and overall pain in transportation of my bass drum when I'm lugging it to a bunch of gigs? If the answer is yes then i want to sell the kit. If the answer is no then i dont want to sell the kit. The whole reason why im thinking about selling the kit in the first place is because of this issue of the 24x18 inch case being a pain to lug around. But im not sure if it will be that much of a difference between the 24 inch case and the 22 inch case.
I do like my mapex kit. But the 24 inch case is a pain in the butt to lug around.
What do you all think?
