Of course then there is the process of finding a case (or vehicle, or stage) that will hold that joker!

No, but I've seen a 30x72. Yes, that's 72" deep. Imagine the transportation issues with THAT drum!

Wow, in a road case that would take up the full width of a semi. That is $250 a week on a tour just for transportation making that one very expensive drum!

Does anybody else find beer-can bass drums to be sloppy/mushy/slow? To my ears, it's like, you hit the drum and there is almost a delay in the sound that comes out. My imagination? Or does anybody else have the same experience with them?

Too many great drums to list here!

I would completely agree. 14, 16 or 18 depth is plenty and after that there is just too much air to move to achieve impact definition. If you want more "oomph" from a kick drum attach a woofer shell in front or add an inverted speaker mic like Yamaha's "sub kick"

> impact definition

Bingo cherries! Those are exactly the words I was looking for to describe what I hear from behind the kit. Thanks for the response. I had never asked for feedback from other drummers about it, so I wasn't quite sure if it was just me/my imagination. I sold a Premier Artist Birch kit for this very reason. Me and that beer-can bass drum just didn't get along... so I got a divorce! lol

Thanks, for response tnsquint...

Klash Drums are out of North East Minneapoils.

Couple young guys own it. They make just about anything you could think of.

I have seen a few of there sets. They do some nice work.

I'm with you on this John.Anything deeper than 18 to me has very little tone,and does seem to have a time delay.It's difficult to get all that air moving.I'll take 14 or 16" deep drums all day long.

I just like the punchy sound of a shallower bass drum,and I'm also not in love with the look of beer can drums either..The concept is really nothing new either.Louie Bellson had a custom double bass Gretsch kit with outrageous sized drums in I believe 1947.

Steve-o - Is this the one you're talking about? The photo is from 1947. Although the lugs don't look Gretsch to me. I know that Lou also had a WMP Rogers kit at this time. Could it be a custom Rogers set?
