So I'm looking at getting a new kit. My initial idea was to go with a 20" kick vs. 22". Two reasons: I like my drums low and this gives me a little more breathing room for placement, second, it requires a little less space when transporting. Now I haven't played a 20" kick since high school 40 years ago and I'm wondering if I'm missing something here. I was thinking that 20x18 depth would get a little more thud vs a 16" depth to help compensate for the smaller diameter. But then maybe it wouldn't, it might be more of a timbre change than the fundamental. Then I got to thinking about beater height placement changes. Then I got to thinking that I'm over-thinking this.
