I'm honestly surprised at how much I like the sound of the 20". I like the slap that kick gives. But of course the 24" sounds monstrous and I love it too.
Super useful comparison, thank you! Loving the sound of the 20” and 24”. Yamaha makes many great things so I’m leaning towards getting a Stage Custom when the time is right.
If you mic your kick you can get an awesome sound even from 18". Plus 18" doesn't compete with your bass player's frequencies on stage. But 20" is probably the overall most useful tradeoff between tunability and portability.
Have been playing the 20*17 kick for many years, but I hate setting it up. Was considering having it cut down to a 15 depth, but now thinking about going with a 24*15 and just getting it over with
I play 22, but if i didnt have to spend money to try a new setup, id love to try double bass with a 18 or 20 inch kick, especially with an emad on them. It would be great to get my 13 x 11 tom lower.I have no idea how different it would feel though, not sure if the rebound would be hindered or improved. I would imagine smaller drums are bouncier, but the tuning would also need to be lower. Actually my favourite drummer Blake Richardson uses double 20 inch kicks, i think the smaller kicks have a really clean look, and make the drummer look more intimidating, instead of the kit, but i suppose thats just because Blake is pretty massive anyway
I wonder if you guys throw 20" x 8" SC Hip BD in to the mix. Would you be able to distinguish the sound between regular 20" and 18" bop BD. Cheers guys!
@@MrFuck1006 Yip, I think it's the Gretsch 14x5. But probably the Steel, rather than the Brass. Sounds great. I was auditioning steel snare's recently and really liked that one. It's not all that crazy expensive either for a Gretsch USA snare, around 400.
The tuning is great, it’s the head, room, mics, and beater. It’s essentially the entire environment and context making it sound like that. the same drumsets can easily have entirely different sounds in just different environments alone.

Seems like the bigger you go, the more boxy or like a basketball it sounds. So far after dozens of videos, I really like the sound of 20s.
I like the sound of 20s as well, and I like to keep my rack tom low., so a 20" kick helps with that.
My preferred bass drum size is 22” because it’s right in the middle, right in between a 20” bass drum and a 24” bass drum
the bigger you go the more weight mids and punch there is. I hate anything below 24
I love the 20" so much ;) Yamaha Stage Custom what a fantastic kit
This man is one of the most happiest man I've seen in my entire life. Super positive vibes 👍

Yamaha Stage custom is the best value for money right now.
3:19 so far loving the 18
24” go big or go… with the biggest one you can comfortably travel with?
Bravo sir 4/4 🤘🏽
That's what she said
I definitely love the sound and size of the 20" bass drum.

I like the 20” and 24”. I’ve decided that i am going to try the 24”. Love the 15” depth. Better attack and punch with plenty of low end.
Dang snare sounds great.
The video I've been looking for!
❤🥁 22 and 24 have a great sound!

24 sounded amazing but with good sound engineer 22 will do the job
I'm gonna move from 20x16 up to a 24x15 for my double bass kit. Itll look so much more intimidating that way

That snare sounds so nice.
A really good demo 💪🏻
18 ALL THE WAY !!!’
My choice, the 22’´
I’d love to see the results when you take the pedal/drumhead feel out of the occasion

Cheers guys!
Beater placement off center on smaller kicks
Cant decide on 20 or 22 also cause toms are different too but i do want the surf green thats for sure
What's the snare? Sounds amazing!
Looks like a Gretsch.
Very sure it's a Gretsch Brooklyn Steel or Brass 14x5 👌

Awesome drummer & human being ;)
Nice drum drum
Many players think they want a 24 until they hear a 20.
Does anyone have any experience on the best bass drum size for a Gretsch Renown?
A 24 wouldn't be hard to kick if you didn't have a hole in the resonant head!
Cymbale zildjian k ride
Maybe a more open sound would be a better test..they all sound like a cheap drum machine
These are tuned like dog shit

24 inches all the way! Especially if you play rock metal music.
