What would sound better IYO? A 10" tom tuned where a 10" tom normally sits...or a 12" tom tuned to the pitch where the 10" would be?
All the kits I normally play, all have 10" toms. Unmiced, a 10" tom note dies faster than a 12 by a noticeable margin. I've been toying with the idea of going 12 and 13 on the racks, like for the first time ever. I get a lot of use out of the pitch range of a 10" tom, but the sustain is lacking. (referring to my PDP gig kit)
I'm wondering if IYO a 12" tom would sound too high in a 10" range.
Opinions? I know it's my tastes that matter most, and I'm not ready to move on this or anything. I'm just curious as to what all my colleagues here have to say about it.
