I came across a Pearl Marching bass drums and turned it into a kickdrum for my set. It's about 25+ years old.
I sanded it down and had it painted to match my kit perfectly.
It looks great on stage and really sounds great since i replaced all my tom/snare metal hoops w/ 100% maple hoops. My band plays indie post-grunge-core music and it makes people remember us & have helped us make a living.

when i do mic it it sounds Monster-style and sounds amazing.
ive go evans heads on there right now...
they make it sound amazing!
 
WOW...it is missing one thing... a kickport to enhance its sound! seroiusly though that thing looks awesome.. Carmen Appice did this back in the 60's with a 26" its the set he used when Vanilla Fudge was on Ed Sullivan.
 
ya know ive though a long time about putting a kickport in...and just a week ago i ordered the kit to do it properly.
stokeddd!
 
I love 28's. Great job! Yes, it'll help you be remembered..and you might scare a few people too haha!
Don't think you'll need the kick port.

I used a 28 for about 10 years, but I got sick of hauling it (I use a 26 now)!

Have fun!!!
