Rototom drums 

This comment is genius

I had no idea what the hell you were talking about or even *could* be talking about, then I got to that part of the video and was shocked how clearly I remembered. Holy shit.

They have a timpani type quality. I'm sad that I sold mine. The problem for me was that I couldn't stop playing them. Haha.

Yeah I know what you mean. Mine slipped away when I wasn't looking (because I wasn't there at the time). I was pissed off or maybe just sad. Nah, it was both. Lost everything actually. It's cool, I'm still alive and almost everyone else in my story is 6 foot distancing straight down. But I think roto toms have a sound that falls somewhere between "normal" drums with a shell and instruments like guitars, etc that are tuned to a note in the key of (*). In short they have more of a singing voice than standard drums, imo. Being able to turn them and get a pitch bend effect is cool if not very practical in most circumstances. Sending out a cracking rim shot for Neil Peart of Rush. See ya around maybe, UP THE IRONS!!!

Thank You! I use standard toms mostly, but sometimes am using combination rotos/concert toms - without bottom heads. Very inspirating color combination!

In Brazil there are lots of rototom manufacturers, on sales sites the rototoms are easily found

Thank You!

Thanks! :-)

Thank You!

Thank You! M.

I've seen guys put rim mounts on them, but then you lose the 'roto' aspect of the toms. I've thought of mounting one to a boom cymbal stand to retain the ability to tune it, but I haven't tested my theory yet.

@@drummerdan95 I can't remember his name but I saw a guy using an 8" and a 10" rotos for his rack toms and he definitely was using a cymbal stand and retaining the ability to spin/tune them somehow so it can definitely be done.

Not necessarily, since about 80% of the sound is determined by drumhead, tuning, sticks, technique/ style etc.

However, double-headed drums do sound "fuller", so it's entirely up to individual taste and what's needed for the musical context.

They do still make these !

They still do, just the 6", 8", and 10" ones. You'll have to go to sites like ebay or reverb to find the larger ones.

Thank You, heads used on roto-toms: Aquarian Classic Clear, heads on snare drum: Aquarian Modern Vintage Medium on top, Classic Clear Snare on bottom

Don,t make Rototoms in 13 inchs

@@Waclove Thanx! 🙏

about $1200.00 thanks for the question. im always here...and happy to help

Yes, this kind of tuning is possibble

@@Waclove that's cool, hey might be a cool idea for a video, care to try it out someday?

@@MonsieurMaskedMan maybe.. ;-)

Because hes hitting them

@@Masimirrimiesthey shouldn’t move that much. Something is loose. I have all 7 roto toms.

:-D Why? Terry Bozzio, Bill Bruford, Alex Van Halen and many many others used always classic drumstick for Roto-toms... ;-) If I would use it like timpani in classical music, maybe, but this video is about basic Rototoms sound in drumset.

@@Waclove yes sir for Good sound you need diferent Sticks diferent Wood :)

@@TobeleDeLaLondra :-DDD

@@TobeleDeLaLondraUm. Most drumsticks are made out of wood…
