I recently got a vintage 70's Pearl wood-fiberglass kit 12-13-16-22. It sounds great but there's this weird thing with the toms. It has the old hex-rod holders. When both toms are on the mounts they sound great. The 12 has nice tone, fundamental rings out. When I remove the 13 the 12 goes dead. Fundamental is gone and there's just SLAP and some overtones. Put the 13 back and everything returns. It's not the sympathetic ring of the other tom I'm hearing. Even with heads damped on the 13 the 12 rings out true. Tried different head, different tuning. Same. I'm kind of baffled. The physics of this are strange.
Anyone ever experience this?
