can a tom be played properly without a reso head?
Just make sure you remember where you put that extra hoop and set of tension rods!
Does anyone remember those little aluminum brackets you could put over the bearing edge so you could put your hoop on without a head? I had them on my kick, never tried them on toms. The product worked great but have NO idea what they were called or if they are still made.
I played without resonant heads on my toms for a few years. If youre going to do it, I would reccomend using the Evans hydralic glass heads. I was actually able to get a semi decent sound that way. Since then, Ive actually learned to tune the reso's.
