"Doc's Rototom kit was also inspired by drummer Bill Bruford and the music of 1978-1980 his groups U.K. and Bruford. Doc has two versions; the all acoustic Gretsch kit and the hybrid acoustic electric Ddrum version. This kit uses Remo Silentstroke mesh heads on the rototoms, Hart Dynamic Magnums mesh heads on an old, converted 6.5" x 14" Viking snare with an internal Pintech trigger, and Maxxums on the floor tom and kick drum, plus Ddrum RedShot or Pro triggers, mated to an Alesis Trigger I/O and MacBook Pro..."

Description

Rototoms are built with a rapid-tuning system, allowing for instant tuning in a range of more the one octave. Tuned to the high range, they produce excellent Latin percussion sounds. Equipped with timpani heads, they produce the timbre of timpani but with a distinctive tone. Their versatility has led to the widespread us of Rototoms in recording studios, soundtracks, percussion ensembles and symphonic music. They are usually mounted on specific Rototom stands, but there are plenty of other ways to mount them on a drum kit, such as using a Remo RIMS mount.

Rototoms are available in seven different sizes: 6", 8", 10", 12", 14", 16" and 18". The two largest sizes have been discontinued and are extremely rare to find.
