Hello,
I am hardly and expert, so feel free to slam me back to reality.
However, I do not understand why more people do not play 26 inch bass drums
If tuned right (Thanks Karl!!!!), they just sound amazing. Even for bluesy stuff it sounds great. Rock and Metal it sound fantastic.
I was playing "Since I've Been Loving You" from Zep the other day with my guitarist and it sounded good even when just "tapping" the bass drum.
I can see not wanting to play one because of two reasons. One, it is big and harder to more around than a smaller kick. Also, tom height can be an issue. I have a 13 x 9 tom over the kick and have it about 4 inches above the bass drum, so I believe there is plenty of room for shallower toms.
I have owned many kits, and really, a 26 sounds special and cannot be duplicated with a 22.
But, other than that, why don't more people play them? I am just curious as to why.
