A number of members here own a 8/10/12/16 Renown. I owned a black RN series (~2010) from 2015-2017.
I find that there are two distinct groups of 8/10 owners. There are those that, I suspect, played tri/quad toms in HS marching band and have them set up as normal rack toms. Then there are those of us that played in HS jazz/pit band and have them set up as auxiliary toms to the left of the hat for faux-latin or hand-drum emulation. I fall into the latter category.
TBT, I've always been a bit jealous of the drummers in the former category who appear at-home with with a bunch of RT's. They look so natural and at-ease, as if they know what they're doing.

If I'm not mistaken Aerosmith set the limit for toms at 10 inches. There was no pulling out the big 8 inch???? No 10 is the minimum. An 8 wouldn't even hold a glass of tea, coffee, wine, or beer. It does look like a coffee can. You know maybe the 8 in could be like a refreshment reservoir with some clear food grade tubing to your mouth. Or if you're a smoker it can serve as a Hookah. I think an 8 in retrofit kit is OBVIOUSLY in need. Turn it into something useful LOL.
I've been using an 8" tom since 1991 and I like it very much, even if I recognise that it is not always easy to tune it so that it does not interfere too much with my snares ... Tamburo Original maple stave set - 18" BD - 8" - 10" - 12" - 13" - 14" and two 14" snares (6.5" and 4.25").
I knew I wasn't the only thinking of that. It's a small enough drum that you could repurpose those luggage straps sitting around the closet.
So we only need to figure out what kind of drink container/bag that can fit inside with a straw fed through the vent hole LOL. I'm thinking something those bicyclists use? Then strap the drum over your shoulder and walk around NAMM or something. Might be a way to get alcoholic beverages in, idk.

I have seen a lot of negativity towards twelves, and I cannot figure out why, after changing out my snare heads, with the snares engaged, the 12" tom makes the snare wires rattle...badly. Nothing else does, just the twelve. The ten and kick are closer than the 12 is.

Here’s my current setup with 8/10/12/13, 14ft, 14s 22bd. I love the smaller toms and the variety I can create with the addition of the 8 & 10s which is impossible to achieve without them. So in spite of the 8” looking like a I’m keeping it. I love coffee.
