Recently I've joined a Drum and Bugle Corp's front ensemble playing set, and their set-up is a five-piece. I have the shells for it, but I'm thinking of pulling out my extra 10" tom for a displaced 2-up/1-down deal to be able to practice the music properly, but I can't get this nagging thought our of my head about how Coated Emperors sounded on a 10" tom. I swear I read somewhere in here that Pollyanna or somebody had a bad experience with the head's inability to tune up right on the smaller drum, and I wanted to double-check before I spent my MF $30 gift card I got for christmas.
tl;dr: Has anyone had problems with Emperors and smaller drums? Any issues with sound quality or tuning up to a good tension or tone? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
