Remo Rototoms

[ian1988]

So ive got given a set of old Remo RotoToms with no stand, just wondering how I would mount them on and what is their purpose? Any pics on where they are set up/how they are set up will be appreciated

I know that they are just like toms but say for like what part of the song etc etc are they used for? Does anyone have any audio clips or videos showing where they are used etc etc??

I assume they're used sort of like timbales?

You rotate them to make different sounds

Listen to Roger Taylor on Let Their Be Drums from the Return of the Champions CD. The beginning are rotos.

yeah i tried so many spots its not even funny i used to have to my left of my high tom and then when i had a normal 5 peice set up it was between the two mounted toms

You can place them wherever, really. Usually they are near the drummer's hi-hats although it doesn't matter... You can use them as regular toms in fills or beats, quick accents, etc. Whatever you feel like :)

I have some, they're great. To mount them, there's a special stand intended for Roto toms only, so you'll need that. Try placing them over your hats, I find they work well there.

You could always pull an Alex Van Halen and make a set of nothing but rotos

Oh man. The 16" is a beasty roto. Sounds great especially with a coated head.

Sorry, But what If you only want One Roto Tom?

Can you buy them seperatly? Do you have to mount them on the one that has 3 stands for the toms? So you have one tom on a mount for 3? Does it suck to mount it on a snare stand?

[pitchfork]

I can't get past the nasty tape stains, give them a good scrub.
Then mount them on a tom stand.

[MeaninglessPhoto]

haha dont feel bad man. Last night I was up to 3:30 because I got off of work at 3 so I came home and decided to go to sleep at 4 then I realised that it was 5 so it totally ****ed up my sleeping. Oh well. haha

[We_Love_Lime]

Wait you can mount single rototoms on tom stands?
Nooooo......?

[Mündo]

i kinda want that hour back...i didn't even know today was daylight savings day....booooooooo

rototoms...i have 6 8 and 10, i want to get 12 and 14 and get rid of the 6 and 10...i use pearl I.S.S. mounts for my rotos.

[We_Love_Lime]

.i use pearl I.S.S. mounts for my rotos.


How'd you pull that off? I'm so confused.. Sorry

^^^they attach to the rim

That's what I thought. So I could buy YESS mounts seperatly If I wanted? Or would I have to buy a tom, and take the Yess Mounts off? And where do people sell these?
