Hi everyone,
I have a Mapex Saturn IV kit that I am very happy playing. My only issue (which I am sure is very fixable) has to do with the 10" tom when mounted. When I get the kit tuned up, the drums sound great. I then mount the 10" and 12" toms. The 12" sounds the same whether mounted or not with the same amount of resonance as much as I can tell. The 10" tom sounds fine when it is not mounted, but then loses its resonance once I mount it.
Is there anything I can look for specifically when I mount the tom to see what could be inhibiting the resonance once I mount it?
Thanks,
-Rob
