I bought this Remo Acousticon 22x24 4 leg surdo today for 80$. It has brand new bass drum heads on it and the guy said he got it for one Samba gig and it sat in a case. I figure it was worth 80$ for the EMAD and reso head alone and this would save me some $ since I have always wanted to try a big surdo as a floor tom. I lowered the legs, and can get it exactly where I play my normal size floor toms. I'm going to pull it up a few inches because it's like 4 inches off the floor in the photo.
It sounds thunderous, pretty much like a bass drum right now, but I plan to swap the heads on it and mess with the tuning. I think it's going to look killer played as a 3 peice with my 28 or steel bass drum. Here is a pic of it next to a 16x16 floor tom.
