If you have an alternate bass drum that is smaller than your regularly used bass drum, which measurement were you/are you more concerned about being smaller?
When selecting a 2nd bass drum for tighter spaces, are more concerned about clearance/space in front of the bass drum or taking up less space from side to side?
I play a 22x18 and have a 20x14 set up @ the band room. I've noticed the difference in setup from 22 to 20 isn't as great as 18 to 14. Combined overall, it's a significantly smaller drum. BUT, if I was going to change ONLY 1 dimension, I'd go to a 22x14 rather than a 20x18 (which just looks yucky to me).
