They are quicker to position and easier to adjust their position, even if it does take a negligible few extra seconds to put on legs vs mounting the drum on a stand. I'll bet if we went toe-to-toe, side by side on this, I could set up my floor tom and have it in position to play faster than somebody who needs to set up a stand and mount their tom from it.
Actually its not.
it takes 6 movements for a floor tom and 3 for a hanging tom (if anythings goes right and all is memory locked and the rest loos and open)
Floor on legs:
Stick leg one into the floortom bracket.
Fasten leg one.
Stick leg two into the floortom bracket.
Fasten leg two.
Stick leg three into the floortom bracket.
Fasten leg three.
(yes this goes so quick it almost does look like one handling but its not, i've noticed myself haha)
Suspended floor
Set stand legs on right position on centre shaft.
Hang floor tom on the tom mount in the stand.
Fasten the mount.
A suspended tom translates the space only to a different position and gives more options to for instance use a tripple receiver so you can mount two cymbal arms on the same stand.
