Been thinking about buying a starclassic that is up on craigslist. It's $425 for 18x20" kick, 10, 12, and 14x14 on legs. 18" diameter and 20" deep. Mind you, starclassics are one of my dream kits (realistic dream) and I always wanted one. the 14x14 on legs is ideal and the finish isn't bad either.
The main question I have is whether I'll be able to get good all-around bass sound out of an 18" kick. I play mainly contemporary Christian music at my church. The 2 times I play regularly per week, my kit is mic'd. There are some times when I play events and I don't get to mic everything up. But even then, the kick is priority for micing.
If I mic my kit up 90% of the time, will I have no problem getting a good thumping, booming, solid sound out of this kit??? just something that sounds big enough to stand up with my other drums. I generally use large cymbals and play with full bands.thanks!
