BD2614 Marching Bass Drum : I made a kick drum out of it.

11 years ago

Yeah, I bought it and mounted legs on it. Slapped on an evans emad on one side, cut a hole in one of the heads that came with it but ended up using almost no dampening. I really like it! It has built in dampening rings for both sides, as it's intended for marching. I removed the one on the resonant side but kept the batter head side.

I've rehearsed with it a couple of times by now, feels good to play. Sounds punchy and fat.

I actually got to record it recently. Sounded awesome right away.

If you're interested in a 26x14 kick drum, but on a budget, this might actually be something for you. Do however include legs and a new batter head in the budget.
