So I recently bought a Yamaha Stage Custom bop kit. Looks and sounds great. But the bass drum (18x15) seems as heavy and takes up almost as much space as my 2000-era Tama Swingstar (22x16). Especially with the extra Gibraltar riser attached. Then, the riser isn’t comparable with my Ludwig Speed King (something other than the beater hits the bass drum head or the rim). So...if it’s just as heavy, just as space-eating and I can’t use every bass drum pedal with it, is it worth it???
Am I the only one who has had these issues? Another option would be getting one of those kits like the Yamaha Stage Custom Hip or Tama Neo Mod. Any ideas?
