Members boxofrocks Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 Thinking about picking up a 28 inch bass that matches my Yammies. What ya think is 28 too big? A 26 would be perfect with the 14 rack and 16 floor, but 28 I'm thinking might be too big I don't know.. Maybe it'll rock.. So what do yall think.. Go for the 28?

Members drummer_bum Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 sounds like elephant farts when you do double bass. Or maybe it was just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cross Eyed Mary Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 {censored} yeah! I've been thinking about grabbing a 3 ply marching kick on the cheap (granted right now cheap is still too pricey for me). {censored}in do it! This guy uses a 30 or 32. qdmdwooNFdM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boxofrocks Posted June 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 I don't do double bass, do throw in heel toe quite a bit though. I love the sound of a 26, would 2 more inches be over the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boxofrocks Posted June 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 That video was great!! If thats a 30 or 32 than 28 wouldn't be too big then.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zildjian@consol Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 That video was great, Box to move that much air ,in the drum, I thinking single ply heads tuned tight or tighter than a regular bass drum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boxofrocks Posted June 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 Alright.. I'm sure 28 inch heads are going to be pricey. But it comes with some heads on it, may have to play those awhile.. I agreed to the price and going to pick it up tomorrow night. And then I'm done buying drums awhile..

Members JimmyNZ Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 I saw a clip on TV the other day with Tommy Lee, I could have sworn his kick was at least 40" it was a DW kit, it looked massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wellhungarian Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 I don't know, to each his own. I've been playing a 24 for the last year and a half. She goes in a H and B Enduro case and I gotta tell you, it's a beast to carry around. So much so, that I decided this week to get my 22 back out and I feel like a little kid again. I can fling that sucker in the back of my vehicle without getting a hernia. (see Marko's thread) I just can't imagine lugging a 28 around. But maybe you have a strong and loving wife?

I don't know how I remember this because I don't even like crue, but Tommy lee has a smaller kick inside the 40". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members drummer_bum Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 Lee has a 32" and a 26" I'm pretty sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boxofrocks Posted June 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 How deep is this 28" kic you speak of Box? Hey Marko,I don't know, but I would guess it's 14. It's marching so it can't be too deep or ya couldn't get your arms around it. And I'm pretty sure Tommy Lee is basicly using an electric kit behind that big bass drum prop. It's really kind of a neat set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boxofrocks Posted June 19, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 19, 2009 Just got in and stuck it on the kit to figure out how to set up around it.. This thing is massive.. I have no idea how I'm going to set up comfortably. May just go with 2 floor toms and no rack tom. It looks funny right now I need to raise everything up so things dont look out of place, and finish putting on the wrap that the dude is having shipped to me to match the rest of the kit. But the sound is amazing. I can't wait to dig into it tomorrow. How do I set this damn thing up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cearleywine Posted June 19, 2009 Members Share Posted June 19, 2009 Looks sweet. I'd lose or throw the rack to the side. If I owned it I'd have it to the right of the kit played with a slave pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
