Hey guys n gals
I have been reading a lot and trying to figure out what is the best solution for my DIY drums (will do a dedicated thread when I start the build, have to wait for a friend to let me test my laptop for latency with his drum kit+alesis i/o + VST).
What about rototoms? They are compact, light, and even have a place to secure the foam cone trigger! Has anyone tried them out? They would be perfect for my toms (only need single zone)

Am I missing something?
Cheers

There are people using rototoms, like WildWes. In my opinion, his kit looks just beautiful!

WildWes kit is absolutely stunning!
Of course, lots of kits in there are beautiful, but since this is a dedicated rototoms thread....

My lastest kit has 2-10", 2-12" and 2-14" e-rototoms.
The 12" and 14" rototoms required a wooden riser for the quartz triggers to reach the mesh.
The 10" rototoms were too swallow for the quartz triggers, so I cut the foam down.
How I attached the jack to the 10" rototom bottom rims.
How I clamp the rototoms to the rack tubes.
Clamping rod.

Here's my humble contribution. Very simple compared to WildWes's masterpiece. But it was pretty easy to do, and I'm real satisfied with the results. Give it a try.

Hey Wes, your latest pic indicates a decided lack of Yamaha PCY-10s. I seem to remember you promising that you'd sell them to me...

I knew when I posted my updated kit photo, you'd notice the absence of my remaining 3 PCY-10's. I seem to recall that I would give you first opportunity Jim, if I ever decided to sell them. Still haven't decided yet, but I do need to either use them or move them.

Well now you're just teasing me. That's not nice at all.

It's not called teasing (maybe a little) Jim. Just prepping you for the big "cha-ching" moment. Originally Posted by JimFiore

Might be hard to find a 6" mesh head. I read 682drums makes a 6" mesh, but I've never tried it. You could always diy. WW Originally Posted by chain

Never mistake Meekness as Cowardice or Weakness, Faith as a lack of Compassion, Boldness as Arrogance, Wisdom as Ego or Love as something Physical or Emotional.

Single-zone and not chokeable, but there's not much to choke. Here's one next to an 8" Kittoys splash. WW Originally Posted by fulrmr(Daniel)
