I see that the 22x18 bass drum has become standard with drum kits these days, however I don't particluarly like them that much. I use alot of triplets and doubles in my playing and the 22x18 bass drum doesn't seem (to me at least) to be that responsive or defined in sound.
I've read that the 22x14 bass drum is the best for this kind of playing, and for the classic sound, and back wken I was playing I think that is waht I played on most.
Is there much difference between bewteen a 22x18, 22x16, or 22x14 interms of response and punch or am I really splitting hairs here....
There is also a good deal on a Yamaha kit where I live with a 22x17 bass drum and am wondering how that compares.....
One last question: I am wondering if there can be some kind of tuning to a 22x18 drum that would create a more responsive feel.
Thanks.
