18" bass drums don't just sound different than 22" ones-- it's a completely different instrument. 22 inches of diaphragm can "absorb" the kinetic impact of the beater, 18 inches cannot, and the beater "bounces" back at you. This is regardless of tuning, type of heads. It's just a physical characteristic of a that-sized object.
