I hope you meant 14X26.It's proportionately even shallower than Bonham's 24" x 14" BD
Where can you even find that size?Any thoughts on this bass drum size?
Quite the opposite! I got rid of anything deeper than 14" deep because they lack the punch and attack. Deeper bass drums go boom because there's too much air to shift to excite the resonant head.I would think it would be missing attack andpunch i would not not have a kick drum under 16in deep 12 in is just to shallow for me others will have completely different opinions.
Where can you even find that size?
If you can find it, I'd say buy it ASAP!
It would be nice and portable for small cars like mine.
Also, just FYI, there's a few different kits available today with even smaller bass drums that sound good as far as the YT videos are concerned. (DW & Tama plus I'm sure more)
I would love to play in a band that only needed the smallest drum kit to make the money.
Sorry to be mega anal.....but he had a Black Diamond Ludwig kit on the first Led Zeppelin tour (my Dad saw him use this kit at Birmingham Town Hall) 24/13/16/18 or x2 16s.I hope you meant 14X26.
The only non-26" bass drums Bonham ever played publicly were before Led Zeppelin, when he was a mostly unknown charactor in England and not endorsed. He played a few 22" kits prior to 1968.
Sorry to be so anal, but it's Bonham we're talking about.
I'd rather pray to Bonham than jesus if you catch my drift
But did your dad have a measuring tape on him at the time?Sorry to be mega anal.....but he had a Black Diamond Ludwig kit on the first Led Zeppelin tour (my Dad saw him use this kit at Birmingham Town Hall) 24/13/16/18 or x2 16s.
He's a guitarist so he'd have been paying more attention to Mr Page I feel.But did your dad have a measuring tape on him at the time?
Your anus might be even more retentive than mine
looks like a 22" to me but i"m too drunk to argue right now.He's a guitarist so he'd have been paying more attention to Mr Page I feel.
The kit got auctioned off a few years back. Here's the offending item!
Oops! I got thrown by this 24 inch "Bonham" bass drum that popped up when I googled it:I hope you meant 14X26.

Got any pics?I cut a 22x14 BD in half.
After accounting for the kerf and bearing edge, it ended up at around 22x6.5"
It was all attack and punch.
