Tom angles!!!!

Re: tom angles!!!!

my god! what do think happened to that cymbal in kit #4? it looks like it spent a day sitting out on the highway or something!
 
Re: tom angles!!!!

It looks like one that was the subject of a thread a long time ago about using a wire wheel to polish a cymbal.
 
Re: tom angles!!!!

Time for your dose of drums gone bad - doubled slightly for good measure.

1) Looks like rack tom palsy. No, sir, there is no cure.

2) This is like some sort of M.C. Escher optical illusion.

3) Rack tom palsy. Does someone you know suffer from it?

4) Even very nice kits can run afoul of Tom Angles.

5) The angles caused this drumset to spontaneously combust from the sheer epic fail.

6) Very nice set. unfortunately, the rack is set up on uneven, sloping ground...

7) Even Tamas get the blues.

8) Rack tom palsy. It strikes when you least expect. It may be accompanied by misplaced snare and hi-hat syndrome.

9) And then, from the depths of the garage... the drumset monster attacked!

10) So the 10" is on top of the snare... the 12" and the 14" are on the bass... good thing this set didn't have an 18" floor tom.

11) If you think you are experiencing symptoms of rack tom palsy, you should consult your physician.

12) If you are living with someone with rack tom palsy, there are some things you should know to protect yourself.

13) It looks like we literally are meeting this drumset in a dark alleyway.

14) The eyes... they follow my every move!

15) When I'm perusing Craigslist, there's certain names that I know will be Tom Angles gold. Rockwood. Sound Percussion. Sunlite. Enforcer. Percussion Plus. This is a Rockwood. See? It works.

16) Don't let your drumset end up like this. Rack tom palsy, if detected in time, can be treated.

Re: tom angles!!!!

HAHAHA great previous post i tried that method of looking for cheap named drums it really does work!

1. Here is the evidence, and even the sunlight from the window can't brighten up this mis-angled fellow.

2. Now here is a nice kit, however the owner obviously took the meaning of FLOOR tom too seriously.

3. I've heard of a hi-hat but this is just ridiculous.

4. No other explanation than the drummer simply lost their way... as did the toms.

5. 'For just 2 pounds a month you can stop cruelty to drum kits, this poor Groove Percussion was forced to do unspeakable acts and just couldn't cope under the pressure. please help us end this right now!'

6. This kit offends, i feel sick just looking at it. I can hear it's pain calling out to me, it's saying 'For just 2 pounds a month you can stop my cruelty'.

Re: tom angles!!!!

what is the deal with groove percussion and pulse kits? is it even possible to set the toms at normal angles with those things?

i can't figure out what happened to those cymbals in that last kit. they're totally black, but in a nasty sort of way, like they were bathed in acid or some kind of corrosive agent.

Looks like plastic practice cymbals... even funnier than the drums themselves. But hey, if you're not playing with anyone, why get real cymbals when practice cymbals are so much cheaper?

...oh, sorry, I meant symbols. Sorry to confuse.
 
Re: tom angles!!!!

Tom Angles - insanity for sale, $250 OBO.

1) It is coming. Coming for YOU.

2) One tom for you to play, the other one is for the guy standing beside your drumkit.

3) Similar to #2, this one is set up for the guy in front of your kit. Of course, it's hard to tell with the bass drum pedal attached to the reso side of the drum.

4) It looks like it's cringing, doesn't it?

5) ...duh-whuh?

6) This looks like one of those urban legends pcitures someone snapped on their cameraphone... "and then the badly angled drumset slipped away into the forest..."

7) Ergonomics are your friend, buddy.

8) Okay, now you aren't even TRYING.

9) ... and that's not better.

10) Every time a drumset picture like this goes up on Craigslist, an angel loses his wings.

It's obvious where they go to.

The owner of this one tried to make a flying machine out of his kit, i doubt it amounted to much.

Re: tom angles!!!!

This thread is a never ending source of joy that should it end I will never get over it.

This s*%t cracks me up.
 
Re: tom angles!!!!

Tom Angles: Cracking up TTNW's $%!# on a daily basis.

1) A couple of weeks ago I posted what I thought then to be the worst double pedal layout ever, I was sadly mistaken.

2) Ride to Nowhere.

3) As if the angles weren't bad enough, I am wondering who (or what) sneezed on his bass drum while drinking Kool-Aid.

4) X marks the shoddy.

5) Nobody's gonna answer THAT door.

6) Everything's there, it's just.... slightly off.

7) Sadder still: At one point someone probably tried to play this.

8) Some days, these entries practically write themselves.

9) Top Ten Signs That Your Living Room Floor Is Settling.

10) If I were those cymbals, I'd be running away too.

11) Nice deck. Pity about what's on it.

12) Boy oh boy.

13) Now they're not even trying.

14) And then the entire house slid off the cliff. Oh noes!

Re: tom angles!!!!

Does that left tom have a drum stick in the tube inside the drum??
 
Re: tom angles!!!!

You mean you're not supposed to keep a stick inside your rack tom? I've been keeping mine there for years. I never lose it and I always know where it is!
Thats just the reflection on the metal. Sorry guys, It couldn't be that funny!
