6", 8", 10", 12", 14", 16" Remo Roto Toms. I've always loved their unique sound.
The snare drum seems to be well liked , too. It's a 6.5"x13" Ludwig Supralite that sells for under $200. Evans glass snare side head is cranked tight. Batter head is Evans G1 Coated.

Never understood why they didn't gain more popularity when you consider clarity, sustain , durability, ease of use and tunabiilty.

[@Randy_Servello]

Seems like they're making quite the comeback, though

[@Pericles777]

One reason being the presence of vocalists. They typically clash with most singers vocal ranges and can make it difficult to get that particular Tom sound to sit in a mix well at least in my experience. Not a lot of drummers want that timbre from thier toms. I’d describe them as “pangy” and timbale like, but slightly less resonance 😂 most of us want a thunderous “boom” that a frame and a single piece of Mylar simply cannot produce. However, would be a great candidate for a triggered hybrid setup

[@kevinotoole9576]

The reason is probably that they can bust under the pressure sometimes, ruining the black metal part, forcing you to replace. That's what happened to 2 out of the 3 of the ones I had.

One of the best benefits to these is that they can be tuned to specific musical interludes or to fit primary chord structures. Even used as a make do for timpani effects. This just adds to the versatility of the drum kit.

@@Randy_Servello Honestly, for a cover band playing clubs and so on, I don't think it really matters!

By this, I mean, the average person in the audience, on the dance floor, etc., drinking their beer or their wine, or whatever, looking for the love of their life, or just for the night, probably isn't going to notice or care, as long as the beat is there, and rhythm is workin'. This is also my philosophy regarding brand names and market levels for drums, cymbals, etc. Now, I get wanting to sound as good as possible, and enjoying playing on quality kit, but, there's a saying about knowing your audience...!

I remember using Rototoms with my Simmons SDSV and an acoustic snare back in the 80'S. I love them!

[@TonyVazquez8265]

I recently switched from acoustic toms to large rotos: 10", 14", and a 16" roto that I use as a floor tom. I use Evans Hydraulic red batter heads on my rotos. My kick drum is a 16" converted floor tom from a Tama Rockstar DX kit. Now I'm starting to get used to them, but I still need to tune my roto-toms so they will project in my band's rehearsal space. Someone told me I should mic my roto-toms; but I will do that for live shows and studio recordings. I don't really need to mic my roto-toms during band rehearsal unless my bandmates ask me to do so. Nonetheless, having a roto-tom kit is fun to play. I'll still keep my acoustic toms so that I can switch back to them once in a while.

I used to have the 3 pc RT set up with my old Slingerland red sparkle kit (old-stock, never used when purchased in '86), back in the late 80s/early 90s. My instructor, a studio guy, helped me tune everything decently, and I used them for some gig work with a couple of area semi-pro musical theater groups, and a couple of cover bands, doing some bars/clubs, carnivals, parties, etc. I was.... adequate to the task, and, it was a LOT of fun! Haven't touched a set of sticks since... maybe 2007? As for the Roto-Toms, I wonder... With today's materials and manufacturing tech, I wonder if you could make a sort of resonance chamber, like, say for the trip, a long, single rectangular box that somehow mounted to the support frame, and slid up under the drums, maybe up over the black lower support rings, and provided a way to modify the sound in various ways. I'm sure a craftsman could do something in wood, or, maybe 3D print something...

Thank you!

[@RoccoSoundTube]

The best percussion sound ever!!!

[@gigibarrows948]

My snare cuts through like a knife real clear and crisp. Love the set up.

[@Randy_Servello]

Thanks!

[@MZMBOTU]

SOUNDS GREAT! FANTASTIC DEMO!

[@Randy_Servello]

Thank you for watching!

Only demo I’ve seen where someone got the bass between toms on ITAT by PC.......

[@TempoDrift1480]

Yeah nobody ever does that right. Even in the tutorial videos. I think maybe a couple of younger ladies got it but not many.

That 1st groove you did at 1:05 🤘🏾🤘🏾🔥🔥🔥

[@Randy_Servello]

Well I'm glad you liked it! Thank you!

[@RossLambert801]

I want a pair of those larger roto toms.

I'm surprised no one has commented on your hi-hats yet. They sounded like a dream to play. Even a beginner could play them and sound good. Please share the brand, model and size.

“Dark Side of the Moon” wouldn’t have been the same without them.

[@SidusBrist]

Actually a hit hat, a bass and a snare is all you need to make most basic songs. Then you can add *a few* toms. One... Two... Tre... SIX.
