Ah, momentarily dipping your toes back into the '80s can be a satisfying experience.
I bought my first set of Remo Rototoms (the 6, 8, 10-inch set) somewhere around 1979 or 1980. My drum teacher explained that they offered a great, inexpensive way to expand your set. And he was right. All of a sudden I had (almost) enough drums to do some Neil Peart fills.
A few years later, I saw Terry Bozzio's Rototom set with Missing Persons, and I wanted more. I picked up 12 and 14-inch Rotoms somewhere around 1983.
Anyway, I sold the 12/14-inch set at some point, but then bought a replacement set about 15 years ago. So here they all are, along with a DW pancake gong drum. In the past, I've used CS black dot heads on them and Pinstripes. I kind of like the Pinstripes on the lower ones but Ambassadors on the higher ones. I've put coated Ambassadors on them all here mainly because I like the way they look. (I first saw Jon Farriss of INXS using coated Ambassadors on his Rototoms in the '80s.) And while I often use a clear PowerStroke 3 on the pancake gong drum, I switched to a coated version here.
Here’s a newer Rototom video in which I compare a few different types of heads: • Remo Rototoms: Drumhea...
