One reason being the presence of vocalists. They typically clash with most singers vocal ranges and can make it difficult to get that particular Tom sound to sit in a mix well at least in my experience. Not a lot of drummers want that timbre from thier toms. I’d describe them as “pangy” and timbale like, but slightly less resonance 😂 most of us want a thunderous “boom” that a frame and a single piece of Mylar simply cannot produce. However, would be a great candidate for a triggered hybrid setup
The reason is probably that they can bust under the pressure sometimes, ruining the black metal part, forcing you to replace. That's what happened to 2 out of the 3 of the ones I had.
Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters has been on and off with these over the years. Remember seeing him in the late 90s with them. Danny Carey of Tool still rocks them. Great sound when used adaptively
I want to get these for performing one of my bands songs live it's an 80s ballad. Studio version doesn't have much fills but I add a lot of big fills live it sounds so good in the song. These would be great to add to my kit and go down all my toms. Check out the song it's called "The Rain" by "stankenstein" and also give the heros odyssey a listen it's a 3 part ballad.
Sounds awesome, but I feel like it’s a lot more niche sounding than regular toms or floor toms. Very unique sound though! The “in the air tonight” fill sounded awesome!
Definitely not the "norm" but I do like the way they sound. Not sure if I'd be willing to use them for a regular cover band gig. Maybe not versatile enough for that
@@vivblake6308 Yeah, Danny Carey uses roto toms for his rack, and they just never sound “full” live. Not sure why he’d choose them for his main sound and not aux. but that’s Danny Carey for you. Lol.
@@Randy_Servello Honestly, for a cover band playing clubs and so on, I don't think it really matters! Especially if you tune them well, PLAY THEM WELL, and have a good sound guy who can mix everything properly. By this, I mean, the average person in the audience, on the dance floor, etc., drinking their beer or their wine, or whatever, looking for the love of their life, or just for the night, probably isn't going to notice or care, as long as the beat is there, and rhythm is workin'. This is also my philosophy regarding brand names and market levels for drums, cymbals, etc. Now, I get wanting to sound as good as possible, and enjoying playing on quality kit, but, there's a saying about knowing your audience...!
One of the best benefits to these is that they can be tuned to specific musical interludes or to fit primary chord structures. Even used as a make do for timpani effects. This just adds to the versatility of the drum kit.
I've got a set of the small ones and I've always loved them, but now that I've heard those larger ones, my set feels incomplete lol. Oh man, those are crazy awesome.
@@rhabdob3895 they pop up on eBay and Reverb, sometimes Facebook Marketplace. But, they're usually priced really high and they get bought quickly. I don't know who is paying those prices, though. Lol
@@lincolnmmitchell 6.5x13 Ludwig Supralite. Only 2 mics used. AKG D112 on the kick and a really cheap Peavey condenser mic placed overhead to catch all the other drums.
Funny, you played in the air tonight by Phil Collins. Who started playing rotos back in the mid 70s. Bill Buford toured with Genesis one year and saw Phil playing a few rotos. He proceeded to play rotos for years after. Two of. Y favorite drummers...
@@leopardcubpupkryky6940 oh, I know...I just mentioned Phil Collins because he was using roto toms in the mid 70’s. I think In the air tonight came out about 5 years later around 1980 or 81.
That was fantastic. Roto Toms are my favourite and I always thought it’s a great idea to have this instead of regular toms especially for travelling and gigging band with smaller vehicle.
Roto Toms have such an amazing sound and are in far more songs than people think. They just didn't catch on quite like they should have. It is sad to not hear them as much as we use too in the 80's
saluda is absolutely amazing and for and absolutely killer price! The price of entry line sabian and the sound and quality of any of the top end cymbals out there! I couldn't recommend them enough.
I had a full set of roto-toms in every size available. 6” to 16”. Left them at an ex band mates house and they ‘disappeared’ when he and his wife spilt.
I am a 57 year old guitarist, but have always had a love for the drums as well. Rotos move me everytime. I also really dig the TAMA Octobans. Not just the sound(s), but the looks as well. A kit with those racked up looks fantastic!! Sounds great Randy - thanks for the quick magic.
I know. But, I've fixed it since then. Please, check out my most recent video with the new Speed King bass drum pedal. You'll hear a great kick sound now!
Had them back in the 80s and loved them. Got them tuned and mic'd beautifully, and that snare is to die for. One of the best sounding snares I've ever heard.
I bought that snare (Ludwig Supralite) a few years ago, not knowing how good it would sound (I originally bought an SJC snare that went on back order, and my Sweetwater guy convinced me to buy the Supralite instead), and I've never regretted it. I've gotten a lot of compliments on my snare sound at gigs many times, and I've been convinced Ludwig makes the best snares ever since. Hearing it in this video, tuned beautifully, and miked and EQ'ed liked that, has made me fall in love with it all over again
Had a complete set of rototoms in the eighties. Great in studio but tricky to use on stage. A nightmare for the sound engineer. You need one mic for each rototom with a sound gate effect, otherwise there’s too much spillage as the output is much lower than ordinary toms.
They are amazing with triggers. But also close mics have gotten so much better… these need to make a come back. I still have my dad’s they are amazing and adding some triggers makes them even more versatile!
The kit sounds great man!!!!! I had 3 roto toms in the 70’s, I loved how precise they could be tuned, but I found when playing along with other amplified instruments, you couldnt hear them! I still liked them though!
I used to have the same “6 “8 “10 set up. Talk about an ear cracking “6 ! I used to tweek it high and roll all over the 12 pieces on my kit. Remo Toto toms drums were fun
I recently switched from acoustic toms to large rotos: 10", 14", and a 16" roto that I use as a floor tom. I use Evans Hydraulic red batter heads on my rotos. My kick drum is a 16" converted floor tom from a Tama Rockstar DX kit. Now I'm starting to get used to them, but I still need to tune my roto-toms so they will project in my band's rehearsal space. Someone told me I should mic my roto-toms; but I will do that for live shows and studio recordings. I don't really need to mic my roto-toms during band rehearsal unless my bandmates ask me to do so. Nonetheless, having a roto-tom kit is fun to play. I'll still keep my acoustic toms so that I can switch back to them once in a while.
I'm looking into a similar setup, really just looking to minimize the size of the gear I need to bring to gigs. A 16" kick, snare, a couple of rotos, cymbal bag, hardware bag and throne should be able to fit in an Uber. Are you still loving your setup? Anything you would change?
Reminds me of Bill Brufords set up of the 70’s when he was with UK and then his band Bruford he used roto toms as his main toms up top then just a regular floor tom this has given me an idea thanks
@@Randy_ServelloYW! Yes, it had to be one or the other. It has that distinctive Ludwig, chrome snare pop! Actually, I'm in a Pink Floyd Tribute and need the larger roto toms for Time. Where did you pick up your rotos? I've had some trouble finding the bigger sizes. Thnx!
I saw a video of Max Weinberg recording with Bruce Springsteen and he didn't have regular toms he was using large roto toms! Alex Van Halen used roto toms in the studio too. They sound better then single headed drums do!

steveweissmusic.com sells their own house brand rototom up to 16"! The 12-16"s have all been out of stock for a few months but I'm assuming they'll have more eventually. These are harder to come by, but you can occasionally find vintage 18" rotos on Ebay and Reverb. I snagged one this past summer to convert into a bass drum of sorts, now I just need the rest haha.
Great video! The reverb was a little too prominent. In my opinion anyway. I would dial it back another 20 to 25%. If you're using a DAW, I would recommend sending each mic to an auxiliary channel. That way you can control your reverb amount a little easier. This is a great video nonetheless. Thank you for posting it. What mics are you using? They're handling all of the frequencies very well!
Never understood why they didn't gain more popularity when you consider clarity, sustain , durability, ease of use and tunabiilty.
Seems like they're making quite the comeback, though

Definitely a compact setup
Terry Bozzio used these on UK's 1979 live album "Night After Night". I love the sound he got with Rototoms better than any kit he's played since.
I agree!
This is what Terri Bozzio used for his Missing Person's kit.
THEN HE WENT BODMIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And well Bob's your uncle.
I had the good fortune to buy some of his used stands, roto-toms, and a couple of cymbals and the bad judgment to sell them.

Great video! The reverb was a little too prominent. In my opinion anyway. I would dial it back another 20 to 25%. If you're using a DAW, I would recommend sending each mic to an auxiliary channel. That way you can control your reverb amount a little easier.
This is a great video nonetheless. Thank you for posting it.
What mics are you using? They're handling all of the frequencies very well!
The mic setup is in the description. I was totally just messing around with the reverb. Lol
Sweet!
There's always one
Yes! I’ve got the classic 6,8,10 and love them! Great video!
