Re: Starting to rethink floor tom legs
Use plastic plugs that you can buy in an automotive shop. Thats what I used.
Use Rims mounts to support the toms and Tama makes an excellent low floor tom stand that will hold two floor toms.

Re: In defence of multiple toms.
I actually don't feel that comfortable when I play my 2 up and 2 down configured 6 piece kit.
Not as comfortable as I do when I play my 4 piece.

It adds a about 50 LBS to my load. It takes more time to set up, tear down...

Re: In defence of multiple toms.
I have a 6 piece kit and I most often choose not to use it for gigs.
I see no point in hauling all of that extra gear for no real reason.

Re: Isolation mount for snare?
Totally agree, I can't even stand isolation mounts on toms because I hate it when drums move excessively when I attack them. The last thing that I want is my snare bouncing all over the place :)...

Re: My Sonor Safari kit, any recommendations?

Re: My Sonor Safari kit, any recommendations?
One of the reasons why I use a PS3 on my 16" Safari bass is because Remo makes a bass drum version of that head.
16" bass drums have become more popular recently so Im sure that more manufacturers...
