I like my high toms, the 12” is coming around.... the 10” sound fine to me. In a perfect world I’d have a 14” to fill the gap between the 12 and 16, but I haven’t bought one yet. This makes it hard to tune the 16” because there is such an obvious drop between the two.
initially I was trying to tune the floor up to take up the huge difference but it made the floor sound bad.
So after that didn’t work I re-tuned the 16” to where i like it, really low thumper.
It may be a bit low now, but I’ve been using videos as reference to make sure it’s not still too tight and it sounds similar to here at 5:00 using exactly my heads.
So I’d like to gather your knowledge on the subject by either referencing videos that aren’t too overtuned and mic’d so that I can’t hear it naturally, or by showing me your floor tom video (preferably because cell phones raw audio is helpful).
of course I’m going to set the drum how I like it, but I’m genuinely looking for some sound references to see what the ballpark is on this. Not having a 14” is making it hard for me to make a smooth step down Reference on where this should be. (Side note: i damaged my 10 ring and ordered a new set and moongel too that will be here monday so this is best i can do tonight, sorry).
