I built a suitcase kick drum last year, and now I'm finally getting back to mini-kit idea.
The kick sounds pretty much like a heavily dampened 20" kick.
I'd like a fairly lively snare drum that sounds good with or without snares, and can be played with brushes.
I'm thinking a 13" piccolo snare with a metal shell might be a good choice, but I see other people using deeper, 10" snares.
I've never played a 10", and find it hard to imagine how that could sound like anything other than popcorn, or how it could work with brushes.
Any suggestions, or does this guy look like a good choice? (I want a kit that's tiny, but not so cheap it's a joke.)
