There's a clever method Sweetwater's recording engineers use for getting memorable bass drum tracks in the studio, and the Trick Drums 18" Floor Tom to Bass Drum Conversion Kit makes it incredibly easy. It converts your 18" floor tom into a kick drum, provided your tom has standard 8-lug, die-cast or triple-flanged hoops and can accept 10.5mm legs. All told, the Floor Tom to Bass Drum Conversion Kit installs in minutes with no permanent modification to your drum, and you can securely mount any standard kick pedal to the extended rim. Play around with mic positioning, and you'll end up with a fat and punchy kick drum tone that's fun for recording and great into a PA.
