I have used mine for a splash with mini boom. I used to mount a mic in it on a gooseneck to get both rack toms with 1 mic.Good for mounting a mini boom with a splash cymbal, but I wouldn't mount anything much heavier on it.
I made these, out of some old 7/8" drum tube, and some nuts, washers, & bolts from Ace Hardware. This was my 3rd run at roto toms, and by far the most solid and more versatile mount system. 10"/12" roto's probably would be fine, weight wise. Getting them positioned right, might be the tricky part.My kick is Pearl with two tom mount holes (7/8")
I currently have a ten inch and a twelve inch tom in them. How much weight is too much?
I was working on a way to mount roto toms and one option I have is:
Mine are a 6, 8, 10 set on a tripod stand. It's a good stand, but it (and the bass drum) gets in the way of where I think I might like them.I made these, out of some old 7/8" drum tube, and some nuts, washers, & bolts from Ace Hardware.

I had one on a Gretsch Renown RN2. I tried it with a splash cymbal on it and when I I'd play the kick you could hear an overtone from the splash. Wasn't good. YMMV.
Hmmm...will my CRS allow me to remember this CSR?You can fix that with one of my favorite toys:
Stopping cross vibration is one of the best uses I've found for it.
Fantastic idea but they're expensive @ $81 each plus $15 shipping to Canada. If I toured or recorded I would be all over this just for the purity of sound they potentially offer.You can fix that with one of my favorite toys:
