After talking to a friend of mine at work about his son and his band. Some of the venues that they have played at were al most to small for their band. I have decided after a lot of consideration and price checking I am going to convert my 16"x16" floor tom to a 16" bass drum. I found bass drum hoops and a Dixon bass drum lift for a very good price that I can afford.
I told my friend at work that a lot of drummers are down sizing their drum kits due to the small venues that are out there. We just don't have the big rock concerts like we had 20 to 30 years ago. Plus I won't have to go out and buy a new as it is called a jungle/ mini kit for $300.00 or $800.00. With that said once I am done I will put pics of my Gretsch catalina maple mini kit which I think will be a nice looking kit when I am finished.

Keep drumming
