I have been thinking about switching over to playing a double bass kit. I have always played a single bass with a double pedal. My bass size has always been a 22 in diameter.
In switching to a double bass setup I would be switching to 2 20 inch diameter bass drums that way it would not push my floor tom and hi hat stand to far out. I would be using a legless hi hat stand clamped to the left bass drum.
My questions are how far will it push my floor tom out using the 20 inch double bass setup compared to how far the floor tom was pushed out using the 22 inch diameter single bass setup? Just to say I keep my floor tom in really close with my 22 inch single bass setup. I have the same question when it comes to my hi hat stand being that I would be using a legless hi hat stand clamped to the left bass drum.
I just want see if I can get the floor tom and the hi hat stand in the same position using a double bass kit using a smaller diameter bass drum that I get using a single bass kit with a larger diameter bass drum?
The thing that has got me looking at a double bass setup is the symmetry of that setup. I'm going to be buying a new kit over the next few months and I just want to get a setup I know I'm going to be happy with.
