I'm currently in the market for a second kit, and I'm leaning towards purchasing a DW Performance kit. I've played a 1997 DW for the past 14 years. I checked out a variety of kits and was hoping to find something different, but my ears drew me once again to DW (though I really liked the Tama Starclassic Bubinga...).
Anyway, my current kit has a 20-inch kick. I've been extremely happy with it both live and in the studio with various types of rock bands. With Performance, I'm offered choices of a 16x20, 18x22, and 18x24.
Here's my dilemma and question: should I stick with what is familiar (20 inch), or go for something bigger? I'm leaning towards the latter, just to mix it up a bit, but I'm not sure how difficult it will be to make the transition to a bigger kick. Is it difficult? Is it worth it?
To give you a bit more insight, I'm a single-pedal player who often plays fairly quick right-foot patterns.
Thanks in advance for any insight on my dilemma.
