XP8 Bass drum weight


Hi Guys,
does anyone know the weight of a XP8 14 x 22" bass drum?
Keen to know if they're heavy, as many of the kicks at the time were.
Thanks

I don't really want to take the time to weigh mine, but I would say "no." they aren't heavy. Seems pretty light actually.

I weight myself and then holding my XP8 22 and came up with 27.6 lbs with hardware and heads...
no comparison to other 22's though....

Agreed, they are not heavy drums-maybe on the light side of average. I don't have a scale, but it's nothing compared to my older Sonor kicks, but very close to the weight of my newer, thin-shelled virgin Pearl kicks.
The XP8 lugs with the C rings are much thinner and lighter than the older spring-loaded lugs. It makes at least a pound or two difference on a bass drum.
