Just like the name brand Roto Tom's but half the price. Good quality drums and stand there were some initial assembly adjustments but nothing a drum key couldn't correct
This Weiss Three Roto-Tom set is a great alternative to concert toms, and can be a great addition to any collection of percussion instruments. The roto-tom has it's tuning changed quickly by turning the drum to adjust its tension, and can easily be positioned on the included roto-tom track.
These Weiss roto-toms are a great alternative to capture the sound and spirit of that era.
This classic Roto-tom Set includes a heavy-duty double braced stand, roto-tom mounts, and 6", 8", and 10" roto-toms.

I read some of the reviews about these roto toms before I purchased them thinking they would be worth getting but I was disappointed after receiving them. Poor quality, and not worth the money.
I bought this set mainly due to the cost of a vintage set or a new set from Remo. I have had two other Remo set over my 39 years of playing and I am very happy with my purchase. The metal used to build the set is a little lighter than the Remo ones. I replaced the stock heads with 2 ply Evan's hydraulic heads (red) to give them some bling. I also bought the set of 12-14 and 16 inch rototoms. They sound great, just like I remembered. Overall great value and that 80's sound I was looking for.
This is my first rototom experience so I don't have comparison feedback. This setup is solid with the metal mounting bracket and double braced stand so it doesn't tend to move when played. The factory heads are good but I opted to change out for Evans Hydraulic Red Heads for a litter deeper less sustain sound and red looks that match the rest of my kit. The system definitely has a range of tuning with a simple turn of the tom. I recommend this set and would like Weiss to make a 12"/14"/16" set as well to add to my kit. I would also recommend the option to purchase new with Evans Hydraulic heads installed. I also recommend putting a logo sticker on the center post to cover the rough metal in the center of the bracket since it is highly visible. Overall a good value and fun addition to your kit!
Roto toms are exceptional value, high quality...worth every penny ! Every percussionist should have these ! Don't hesitate to order ...you will be happy you did ! Lee S
