I've been playing 18" bass drums for about 25 years now, exclusively. I think you'll find that, eventually, the drum will sound best wide open, or with minimal dampening (even less than what you're using now).
It's a good sound and I've found 18's to be remarkably versatile.
Nice build. Thanks for showing us. 👍

True. I had a Gretsch Catalina 18 and it Boomed and thumped. That was a Great Kit.

Good job Andrea! Happy New Year
I'll follow your example for a portable kit. Do you know the distance in between the holes of the lugs?

[@andreasalvatici8704]

I prefer the Gretsch set in the background! Cheers!

[@joshpratt2767]

Cool project! What kind of material did you use to eliminate the play in the drum riser towards the end of the video?

[@hortosoniclab3851]

Thanks! It’s some kind of thick foam, rubber would do the job also.

Bravo

You can buy an 18” base drum a friend had one bought it at Mandy’s in New York

In my country the big bass drum heads is very expansive , is more good have a tiny 16 inch or 18 bass drum with a tom heads
