Re: Pros and cons of a tom mount I Can't Believe These Guys Are Worried About The Bass Drum Resonance. They Buy A Bass Drum With No Tom Mounts So It Resonates More, Then They Put A Pillow In It To Reduce The Resonance !!!. I Defy Anyone To Tell The Difference In Sound On A Bass Drum With And Then Without Toms. I Can Guarantee That Any Slight Difference In Sound Will Disappear Once It Gets Past The Stage And Into The Audience. My Brother And I Both Have Drumsets We Got Back In The 60's With Bass Mounted Toms. They Both Sound Great. And If You're Worried About The Weight Of The Toms Warping The Shell Of The Kick, Just Take Them Off When You Are Not Playing. One Of The First Rules Of Playing In A Band........keep It Simple ! |
