I have sent a message to him on Ebay. It seems to be tricky to find these products.
Very cool. I've ALWAYS loved rotos. SO many peeps make fun, say they're not drums. . .they may not have shells, but they're drums.
I dig your setup.
Thanks. This is the 3rd time I've brought a full kit of them to life.Back in the early 1980, I had a 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 combo., with each drum mounted on a Tama Titan boom. 'Round 2005, I put a 14, 16, 18 combo. together, each mounted on a modified snare stand.These are 8, 10, 12, 14, 16. I might add an 18, if I find one cheap enough. On eBay, 18's are going for $300 .... which is a tad pricey. I paid $130 for my 16. So the team may be full as is.Yeah, there seems to be a lot of hate towards these .... oh well
... to me, they're just another sound option.
Pearl probably came closest to that .... with the Vari-Pitch drum kit.
Never seen any toms with reso. heads, however. Pearl and Firchie made snares, also.My next addition to this kit will be to add a Yamaha EAD10 to it. Selling off some extraneous hardware now to finance that. Gotta lighten the load before I go an add to it.
8, 10, 12, 14, 16 ......I know this is an ancient thread but I have 10" and 12" roto toms that I bought way back in the late 70's. They haven't seen much action but more recently I've been using the 10" as my high tom in a 3 up 2 down setup. But I don't like how it looks. What I do want to do is buy an 8", 14" and 16" to make a full roto tom kit 3 up 2 down and using a regular bass drum and snare.
8, 10, 12, 14, 16 ......
When are you going to put some Evans heads on those?
Putting evans on roto-toms is a personal favorite hobby of mine haha.
FYI I love roto-toms: I'd be down for a full kit of them if it ever became a possibility! Maybe not as my primary - but it would be so fun!
They sound big and fat with Evans Hydraulics. And they last forever.
OHHHH - Is this the kit that you put new Hydraulics on after like decades of not changing the heads???
This is alllll making sense now haha.
Yeah .... that frankenhead assortment is just whatever those came with, when I got 'en off eBay.When are you going to put some Evans heads on those?
