Choosing a kick drum

[Jackal_Strain]

I've got the best results for metal from using a 20" kick, but 22" is also great. I've found that bigger kicks than that can sometimes be too loose and boomy for fast stuff. Try blending a sample of a 20" kick with a lot of click and attack with a well tuned 24" kick for the low thump. I did that once and got killer results.

I'd say go with the 24" DW, Andy used one on Doomsday, and we all know that kick sounds fucking awesome.

Well lookey here, 24" DW with no hole in the top. But is $950 obo a bit steep?
