Re: Sonor Jungle users - Or 16" kick users
I did. I have a Fiberskyn on the reso and a pinstripe on the batter with a strip of felt on the batter side. Great sound actually.

Sweet. Thanks for the quick response. I had a feeling it was ok but I was hesitant for fear of possibly breaking something.

That small of a drum won't handle a hard pounding. You will be feathering the pedal more than stomping on it so tom heads are fine.

Re: Sonor Jungle users - Or 16" kick users
They sound better if you let the beater come off the head. If you bury the beater, you probably won't "break" anything right away, but it will sound bad.
On a related note, I'm currently looking for a vintage 16" marching snare with wood hoops. I played on one lately that somebody converted to a little bass drum. I've never liked the sound of floor toms converted to bass drums, but the marching snare, with its shallower depth sounded great!!!

If you don't want to go with a specialized bass drum head, You may want to try an Aquarian Performance II. It is in between a bass head and a standard tom head.

Re: Sonor Jungle users - Or 16" kick users
A 16" kick built from the ground up as a kick drum would likely sound better than a floor tom loafing about on its side (and this means using wood hoops and claws. They are available). Head selection should not really matter, but I have always used a batter patch to avoid repetitive stress on the beater point.

For batter I use an Evans Hydraulic glass head. It's thick like an remo pinstripe head and don't tremble when tuned low. Sounds pretty :)
