Export 22"x18" Bass Drum #717 : Can't believe how good it is

5 years ago

This drum is great, period!

I use this for rehearsals, live performances, and recordings for things that go on Spotify. I play quiet acoustic styles, as well as hardcore and metal. This is now my go to kick drum for all of that.

I actually got this drum as an intermediate step before investing in something more expensive. Then I got it, and:

-the quality and solidity of the wood, hardware, knobs is just great

-I still use the stock heads with the included small muffling pillow, and I see no reason to change that anytime soon, it sounds great

-I've gotten compliments from recordings with this drum, .e.g "the kick sounds awesome"

I play it with some some technically higher end gear, like a Pearl Decade Maple snare, and New Beat hi hats, and there is no noticeable difference in quality coming from the kick drum.

I don't see a need to ever replace this kick drum. For live gigging and recording, I already got proof that it can handle that.
