Well there it is, well put.
24" is a beast I consider a large venue live drum, it can be recorded to good effect based on the environment. So if you have a nice room around it the 24 can be monster.
Or not. See quote above... IME there is a sweet spot with a 24 that has the head tension somewhere between loose and sorta tight... the right head for the shell thickness and dimensions... and a 2nd head working in concert and BOOm it's Bonham time. I do think a 20 or 22 is easier/faster to work with in the studio though.
