Hello.
I've got questions about bass drum depths. I know early on that bass drums were 14 inches deep, then in the early 80's when power sizes came out they added two more inches. Years later, they add another two inches, to make it 18.
I've heard that the 14 inch depth produces the most punch. While I guess the 18 inch depth for for live performances to move the sound more toward the audience? Don't know anything about the 16 depth, other than my cheap kit has a 16x22 and it sounds pretty good.
Basically, what are your opinions on the different depth sizes? Any comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Take care.
