Members curtiswyant Posted August 24, 2003 Members Share Posted August 24, 2003 Hey guys...I'm in the market for a new drumset, leaning towards Conaway. Anyway, currently I have a standard size kit but I might be interested in getting a jazz-style kit. It will mainly be used for recording and I've heard that smaller kits record better than larger kits. I need a nice, tight bass and snare sound...just really tight and punchy. Suggestions?

Members stapes2260 Posted August 25, 2003 Members Share Posted August 25, 2003 well since keller makes birch shells, i imagine conaway can get them for a kit. I'd imagine a 20x18 maple bass drum and birch toms in traditional depths would make a "tight" and "punchy" kit, and the maple would aid the 20" bass with low end a bit more than the birch.

Members snaresmacker Posted August 25, 2003 Members Share Posted August 25, 2003 go for slightly shallower rack toms: (depth x diam.).... 8x10, 9x12, 11x14, etc. ...but keep the "deep" floor toms (in my opinion)..... 16x16, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beech is like maple and birch in one. Or you could get a kit from OCDP, Phattie or Pearl and have the shells made out of BOTH maple and birch. Birch inner / maple outter would sound nice.
