I had no idea what the hell you were talking about or even *could* be talking about, then I got to that part of the video and was shocked how clearly I remembered. Holy shit.
i cant believe they aren't as popular anymore. I swear to god they were the finest sounding drums I ever owned and I had a few nice kits. I could really feel their sound particularly the larger rotos
Great performance Martin. I recently put together my own roto tom drum set including customized hardware for them and filmed a video also. They are so melodic and easily tunable that I don't think I'll ever go back to regular toms.
Thank You! I use standard toms mostly, but sometimes am using combination rotos/concert toms - without bottom heads. Very inspirating color combination!
I just added a set of Remo roto Tom’s to my Mapex kit. Always loved them. Hadn’t had a set since the 80’s. Seems like he has lot more room for few more cymabals? One crash is odd to me. The rack on left is moving too much mine don’t do that. Maybe cheap stand or something.
I've seen guys put rim mounts on them, but then you lose the 'roto' aspect of the toms. I've thought of mounting one to a boom cymbal stand to retain the ability to tune it, but I haven't tested my theory yet.
@@drummerdan95 I can't remember his name but I saw a guy using an 8" and a 10" rotos for his rack toms and he definitely was using a cymbal stand and retaining the ability to spin/tune them somehow so it can definitely be done.

:-D Why? Terry Bozzio, Bill Bruford, Alex Van Halen and many many others used always classic drumstick for Roto-toms... ;-) If I would use it like timpani in classical music, maybe, but this video is about basic Rototoms sound in drumset.
It's like you're riding Yoshi through the caves in Super Mario.
This comment is genius

They have a timpani type quality. I'm sad that I sold mine. The problem for me was that I couldn't stop playing them. Haha.
These Roto- toms sounds much better than the most drumkits I know...
První minuta je TAK věrný Bozzio, až jsem se u toho zasnil. :)
Amazing sound!!

Very nice playing. I've always loved the sound of Rototoms on Vandenburg songs for instance.
Love your groove! Now people, THIS is what a good drummer sounds like.
Beautiful sound and well tuned !
Reminds me of the high school football marching band days
Interesting that even the deep ones have a nice tone...
16"&18" rototoms are out of production and extremely rare.
In Brazil there are lots of rototom manufacturers, on sales sites the rototoms are easily found
Stunning rototom solo!
this great !
great playing, great drum sounds
Dudes got talent.
Awesome! Really nice doubles!
Don't forget Louie Bellson - started playing Roto-toms in '74-75😂❤
Beautiful!
The master! Beautiful playing.:)
EXCELLENT!!!!!! A hug from Argentina!!!!
Thank You!
This is so inspiring...Thank you very much sir...Fine playing indeed!

amazing
i like this powerfull Crash
What note did you play? What groove name? How you did that, its awesome men you did great👍🏻👍🏻
Pěkné. Originální
So do drums even need a body ( wood shell ) ? these sound pretty good !
Not necessarily, since about 80% of the sound is determined by drumhead, tuning, sticks, technique/ style etc.
However, double-headed drums do sound "fuller", so it's entirely up to individual taste and what's needed for the musical context.
Excellent Job Martin!!! Great! Musician/Artist USA- ThomMeinert
Thank You! M.
I wish remo still made roto toms
They do still make these !
They still do, just the 6", 8", and 10" ones. You'll have to go to sites like ebay or reverb to find the larger ones.
dope
I love Rototoms, but the mounting system has always been a bit of a pain.

What are these lush cymbals? That crash sounds rich. Thx brother ❤
Thanks! It's Anatolian FX Impact Crash ua-cam.com/video/5jrPMpn8BHo/v-deo.htmlsi=U4iMu2H4dmN-Fu3r
Well.That was Interesting. JAZZY GROOVE
What heads 16 and 18 sound great. Those are the hardest to make sound good
I have a full set also. Sounds great
Thank You, heads used on roto-toms: Aquarian Classic Clear, heads on snare drum: Aquarian Modern Vintage Medium on top, Classic Clear Snare on bottom
Suena como bill bruford en king crimson
Sounds great! I m wondering what cymbal are you using?
Thank You! Cymbals are anatoliancymbals.org/
@@Waclove And what kind of a kick drum is there, please?
@@andrewh8739 It's Mapex Storm 20" kick drum
@@Waclove Thanx! 🙏
Terry Bozzio should get some lessons from you ma man.

Don,t make Rototoms in 13 inchs
😱👏👏👏👏😍😍😍
bad ass
🖤🖤👊🏽
0:52 the snare and bass look like a cannoli
Can you order 12 rototoms and make it chromatic order? Is there a video showing that?
Yes, this kind of tuning is possibble
@@Waclove that's cool, hey might be a cool idea for a video, care to try it out someday?
@@MonsieurMaskedMan maybe.. ;-)
😎😎😎😎😎😎
how much did these cost you?
about $1200.00 thanks for the question. im always here...and happy to help
10～20インチで並べたい
Why are they moving so much?
Because hes hitting them
@@Masimirrimiesthey shouldn’t move that much. Something is loose. I have all 7 roto toms.
These would go good with steel drums.
IS THAT CALLED PLAYING QUADS ON ROTO TOM TOMS ? 👀
Lui è molto molto tecnico ma il suono è veramente discutibile di questi rototom.
Boh da valutare a lungo per l acquisto
You need Other stick for this instrument

@@Waclove yes sir for Good sound you need diferent Sticks diferent Wood :)
@@TobeleDeLaLondra :-DDD
Get a rack. That looks flimsy.
At 3:20 it starts to sound great! In the begining it sounded pretty bad to me.
Sound like tool
yeah a bit. except danny has those sick multi area digital ones
Taky jsem měl dva, ale nikdy mě to nechytlo nebo se ten zvuk spíš nehodil do mýho hraní.
Ma se suonavano male 40 anni fa, perchè oggi dovrebbero suonare bene??? Ma davvero vi piace questo suono "barattoloso"???
boh, si
