Had a 25 year old sub drummer on our gig Saturday who brought a Tama Starclassic bop kit with a 16 inch floor tom tuned pretty high placed on the floor with no ramp, and he just sat his pedal in front of it. Didn’t adjust the beater or anything…it hit about 3 inches away from the hoop, which was a standard diecast tom hoop.
But that wasn’t as weird as the snare…a Pearl Morgan Rose sig:
Dude played his ass off, though. He’s a hardcore jazz guy and doesn’t even like Sevendust . It’s wacky but it sounds really good. I would have liked him to use a lower pitch on the kick, but he played it really well.
I’m going to have to try the foot tom thing when I get a chance. I’ll pass on the Morgan Rose snare but since steel snares are usually low priced, I might pick one up in the NF.
