Hi guys, quick question. Hoping to get some feedback in the next few hours.
I'm playing an outdoor gig later this afternoon. The stage is in an old horse corral! Drums will be unmic'ed. The last time I played this gig, the drum sound just vanished, sucked into all the open space. That was with a Pearl Forum house kit, but today I'm bringing my 3-ply Ludwigs. I have two different kicks I can choose from, a 22x14 and a 24x14.
My question is: Which is gonna be the better choice? The 24 sounds bigger all around, but I wonder if the 22 is the better choice because it will be punchier, more focussed? Does it matter at all, given the poor circumstances?
Opinions or experiences welcomed!
