This seller provided many angles of his angles. And what do you suppose is going on with the snare? Looks like some kind of wack muffling job.
I'm afraid to find out what he does with that rubber piece on the snare. I like the way the tom heads are worn more on the perimeter than the middle! I wouldn't want to hold a nail while he hits it with a hammer!hmmm.... that piece of rubber tubing must be to stop the stick from hitting the rim and getting that awful *crack* sound...... xD

And one more. Look at the extreme left of the kit.

Wow, that was a serious throwback. I never did get why he left Maiden, but that was a helluva gig to walk away from. The thing I noticed most was how he was playing the hats: really hitting the edge of them with his sticks. Seems like the sticks would chip away pretty quickly that way.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVS3fZFUz7U
Look at Clive's smallest tom! (and while you're at it check out those 16th notes during the verses)
I don't have a picture on hand, but after rearranging my little cousins' craigslist-eque kit, I can conclude that:
1. The toms must be as low as possible, maybe even touching the bass drum is you don't care about the finish.
2. Positioning them at about a 20 degree angle towards you, maybe a little less depending on your height, but no more.
3. It should pretty much look just like they do on a double tom stand.
So what when the toms that touch the bass drum vibrate?
How daft that people can presume to instruct others on Tom angles.....Does your shallow tom angle make you a better player,get you more work or improve the sound?
No- its a matter of preferance and comfort for the individual player...mine are set fairly low and shallow,but its because I prefer the set up that way...So tired of hearing this worn out discussion on various forums. Dont understand why it features so much thats all!
