Using the 22"-model Bass Plate on an 18" Drum
Bass Plate users discovered that the inner pair of slots on a 22"-model Bass Plate (which were designed for ten-lug 22" drums) line-up with the lug holes on standard, eight-lug 18" drums.
This use requires some slight bending of the Bass Plate's "wings" (so they match the smaller curvature of an 18" drum shell), which is easy to do by hand.

Using the 20"-model Bass Plate on a 16" Drum
The 20"-model Bass Plate will fit on a 16" drum. The Bass Plate's inner pair of slots (which were designed for a ten-lug 20" drum) line-up with the lug holes on standard, eight-lug 16" drums.
