... I do like 20” bassdrums, indeed!
Playing got me more and more into small clubs.
The big stages were now for the youngbies with their 7-string bullshit, so we stepped down one level.
For this purpose and somehow really more “kick” but without any loss in volume (!) I changed to 20”.
The Pearl BD for example I got for small cash (that´s why I didn´t care for brands, etc.). And guess what?!? - it really kicks and is my favourite!
Never ever believe those lamers telling you “the deeper the shell the better and louder the sound” - that simply is not true!!! The deeper the shell the more overtones you get (with toms esp.) and the smaller the bassdrum in diameter the better anyone recognizes it in a room plus it really “kicks”.
Having been a sound engineer on so many occasions, even large gigs I know what you need to make the CD recogniseable - treble. Yes, smaller diameter means less bass but I bet without modern measuring equipment you might not be able to spot that, esp. not in the rehearsal room
