I recently purchased a lovely Gretsch Renown kit, 12, 16 and 22 bass drum with a 13x7 CoS snare. Absolutely love the kit but finding the 22x18 bass drum a bit of an arse to move about and gig with particularly in a Hardcase. Great drum, sounds like a cannon with very little damping and really wish I could get a 22x14 but I'm thinking about trading the 22 for a 20x16 to save my back and knuckles in doorframes. Has anybody got any experience with the two drums, volume and tone wise. I play a wide mixture of rock, blues, bit of jazz in piubs, small clubs and normally have a bass mic.
Any thoughts gratefully received.
Cheers
