I'm hoping to get some thoughts on floor tom depths for 16 and 14", three legs on the floor, floor toms. Most floor toms have square sizing. For example if it is 16" in diameter it will also be 16" deep. Same for the 14s, 14x14. I'm noticing more and more FTs that are cut down by two inches creating 14x16 and 12x14 FTs.
What would be the reasons to build a square floor tom vs. a short one? Is it the same principles as kick drum depths? Shorter = more attack, longer = more boom. Do shorter floor toms provide more attack?
