Monster Tiki Rocktail Kit
After about 2 months of reading, scheming and planning, the pieces have come together for a kit I'll be playing with The Straight 8s, a 3-piece rock-a-billy band based near Chapel Hill, NC.

Thanks John and Unc for replying... I really appreciate the insight. I'm still fooling around with drum heights that work while playing.

My question is in regards to the typical maximum height that can be achieved for the bottom head (relative to the floor), using the more common Pulse, Ludwig, etc. ...
