Roto Toms – The Most Musical Drums Ever? | The Drum Department 🥁 (Ep.50)

Roto-toms were created to be an innovation for drummers. You can drastically adjust the tuning while playing, and they are very portable. Big in the 70s and 80s, they seemed to all but disappear in the 90s, but they have seen a resurgence in the past few years, showing up on kits everywhere. Today, we will learn all about the mighty roto-tom, and we have built a kit entirely out of them to see just how versatile they are!
