Works perfectly. I use Evans Black Chrome on this one, didn't replace the bottom head. With "regular" 14'' I suggest you tune this as low as possible (and get an awesome mid/short-sustain sound out of this without overtones) so you can use it in melodies, with different symbals (a wide Ride with this = beautifully-sustaining, accentuated sound/harmony; or you can use this as a "second bass drum" when playing jazz), in all kinds of music.
What strikes me though is that the legs are.. long. Not that it gives any limitations, but... why do we have shorter legs for 14'' floor tom, and longer legs for 16'' floor tom? :D
