I've noticed that drummers typically refer to drum sets as a specific kind of kit, according to the size of the bass drum. For example, in another thread, it was mentioned that kits with a 16" kick are referred to as "jungle" kits. I've also noticed that kits with 18" kicks primarily get called "bop" kits. 20" kicks often get called "jazz" kits and 22" kicks are the standard, or "rock" kit. Also, 26" kicks are considered "Bonham" sized, while I'm sure the annals of history will declare the 23" kick as "Peart" sized when this whole silly 23" bass drum phase goes the way of Pitch Blacks.
Of course, tom sizes have some influence. You wouldn't call a 26/10/12/14 a Bonham kit, and I don't know what a "jungle" kit with an 18" floor tom would be called...("backwards"?)
Does this just about sum it up? Anything I'm missing? Thoughts? Sarcastic remarks?
(yes, I'm calling you out, Zambizzi and Wavelength!)
