Anything smaller than a 22" just seems too small. After all it's a BASS drum isn't it?
Love my 16" kick. Not disappointed in it at all. Sounds good, takes up very little space, and does not effect positioning. Cant say the same about my 24". It sounds good, but is too big.
I want a 20" to split the difference.
It sure is. It doesn't feel like a small kit at all when you play it. I'm sure the riser helps a ton with that.Is your 16" bass a Pearl Midtown, by chance? I've never owned one, but it seems to be a great kit for compact purposes.

I only bought it because I dont have room for my full size kit anymore. I was hesitant, but quickly fell in love with the Midtown. It really is a wonderful little kit.
Totally. I'm in the same boat as you, I have no desire to buy anything but Pearl at this point. Been playing them since 93 with no complaints. That's plenty good enough for me.No such thing as a bad Pearl kit. You get quality and durability with every line.
22 or 24 are all I've ever owned. I THINK I could live with a 20, but anything smaller is just too cute! I don't know, I just like 22s for size/proportion.

Up until the 22" I just picked - I've 18"s and 16" for the past decade or so (aside from backline kits).
An 18" can be a punchy bass - a 16" can be punchy - but it takes a little bit of EQ magic to really make it a "bass drum" despite me really liking the sound of it.
So....I disagree - BUT ....mannnnnn my current 22" is a revelation of punchy, canon bass goodness so maybe I'm converting haha.
