Yeah the Trick one is nice and simple/smallish, which is good. I read somewhere that the Danmar one will fit in a 22 inch bag/case attached, which would work out good for me because I have one already. I've read all about the differences of sound between 3-ply and 6-ply, but using it as a kick (part time) I guess I would opt for 6-ply. Easier tuning, louder, thumpier, and stronger. I just don't know for sure.
