I always figured the Yamaha Rydeen's / YD's thin mahogany shells would be well suited for a smaller size kit. When I scored a 22, 10, 12, 14 set of Rydeens I immediately went to work.
The 14" Floor tom became a bass drum. This time I left it the full depth, while I usually cut them down. I figured the thin shell would compensate in the bottom end punch department while maintaining the full depth adds a bit of volume.
