I have a 12" rack tom and 16" floor tom. As is I have them both tuned to about a G as far as notes go. High G for the rack with a lower G for the floor.
I do dig the sound by I have to wonder if they blend too much to where the difference in tone is not enough being that they are tuned to an octave of each other?
Anyone else tune their toms to octaves? What are your thoughts on my question?
On another note, I'm tuning my rack tom quite a bit lower then I usually do. Again I like it but it is a bit unusual to my ear being that I'm used to a higher tuning. But the the tom seems to have a real open fullness to it at the lower tuning.
