I bought this 14″ rototom for variety of applications with our quintet brass ensamble. There are renaissance pieces that need more of a timpani kind of sound, others are more into military drum. Instead of having a set of different percussion instruments, we use just this one rototom with different sticks, sometimes dampening the head etc.

I have studied timpani for years (played on 4 ludwig pedal timpanis) and I must agree this 14″ Rototoms with timpani head really have timpani-sounding characteristics. About the quality, even if I just received my 14″ rototoms, but I can say we have had 8″ and 10″ Rototoms for many years in a percussion ensamble and the quality really is great and durable.

I got it tohether with the remo stand with 4″ bar, this stand is very sturdy and heavy.

I love the sound of Roto Toms ! I had the set of three-(6"-8"-10")-years ago, but had to sell them with some other equipment at the time. I didn’t realize how much I missed these things. Now I have the set of three back again, along with a 14" Timpani Roto Tom. If you guys make an 18" Timpani Roto Tom,….I WANT IT !!! I’m thinking of leaving my mounted toms home and just playing out with the Roto Tom set instead !
