MATT, Sounds like you're pretty pleased (maybe, surprised?) by the 20x18 kick you received. The 22 will naturally want to speak at a lower note and will have a...
I use a 20x18 kick on my luds. Kinda funny this came up. We played a huge show a week ago with 10 bands on the bill. We were on top. The soundman was one of...

For years I gigged with a 14x20 bd with two heads and no holes in the heads. I put a pillow inside the drum, and depending upon the sound and amount of volume...

Another problem may be the size differential between the Paragons and the New Beats, as you stated that the Paragons are 13" and the New Beats are 14". You...
