Never had an 18" kick and it makes sense youd adjust, but you might just adjust.....Go to a shop and play any 18" kick with a 7000 pedal and see how it feels. As far as sound goes, I've heard some smokin' 18's, but thats your preference. And be careful, you don't want to be the drummer that booted the big guy right out of his own house!
