I laughed when I first heard about Neil Peart having DW make 23" bass drums. But now that I have two Ludwig kits side-by-side, one with a 14x22 bass drum and the other a 14x24, I think I'm beginning to see the logic.
My 22" Ludwig is great, it sounds wonderful, but there are times when I wish it was just a little bigger. My 24" also sounds great, a bit bigger-sounding than the 22 as well. But there were times I wished it was just a little smaller.
I think Neil and DW were on to something. Kinda' like how Benny Greb came up with a 5.75" deep snare since he was trying to split the difference between a 5" and a 6.5" depth.
it would be really neat if I could actually try a 23" bass drum in the same room with my 22 and 24 bass drums to see if there is really that much of a difference, and the thought is intriguing. Anyone ever give it any serious thought?
