Modern Tama Imperialstar: the new tom will replace my 13x11 as my main rack tom
14"x11" i'm familiar with, so i guess my concern is with the 16"x13".
Pros:
. more surface area (more forgiving for Uncle Ghee)
. lower pitch (desirable for me)...will match well with my 16" floor tom and a second 14" or 16" or 18" floor tom (which i haven't decided on yet). it seems like the perfect solution, as i want it to sound like a floor tom, but not always so deep depending on how i hit it.
Cons:
. i've never heard a 16x13 rack tom before.
. not sure about the 13" height above the bass drum.
does anyone have experience with a 16"x13" rack tom ?
