Larry
"Uncle Larry"
This term always bugs me, when it's used to describe a drum's characteristics.
Every set of drums I ever had, could reproduce any style accurately enough.
The funk style, the jazz style, the rock style, the big band style...can all be made to happen on the same set.
And that same set, can match the sounds that are recognized as being appropriate to whatever style is being played, by way of heads and tuning IMO.
I could tune and head a 22 x 22 bass drum to sound good enough for jazz, I'm sure of it.
So where does the versatility come in? What does it mean when a drum is said to be versatile?
In my mind, versatility begins and ends with the drummer.
Your thoughts?
