Chris, Here's something to consider. You've probably been playing on that 22 for a while now. It would be more difficult to get used to the 26, compared to the...
Bonzo's kit was really just a "Big Band setup" on acid. Ian Paice was also known to play a similar setup (see the cover of "Made in Japan") as well as double...

... Straight up! I believe that this guy was using finger control on the drums and had to work a little harder on the cymbals (not as much rebound). I think...
Chris, I've seen replies from other drummers and i thought i'd offer my view on this. I actually use a 26" kick in two of my sets: one is a ludwig maple kit...
