... why that sole 20” Pearl Bassdrum, you ask ? Well - playing got more and more into small clubs and/or houses ! The big stages were now for the youngbies with their 7string bullshit, so we stepped down one level then. For this purpose and somehow really more ”kick!” WITHOUT  less volume I bought this one for small cash (thatīs why I didnīt care for brands, etc.). And guess what ?!? - it really kicks and if Iīll go on playing drums one day again it may become my favourite !!! ... never ever believe those lamers telling you the deeper the shell the better and louder the sound - itīs simply 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 ass !” ... ;o)
