Weiss 6"-8"-10" Roto-Tom Set with Stand

Comments:

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!

I have the full set 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16. They are well made, very affordable. The shipped heads are as all shipped heads, very inexpensive, not trash just inexpensive. And, like all shipped heads need/should be replaced. I installed Evans Blue Hydraulics. I like hydraulics much better than Remo pin stripes, pin stripes have a ringing sound at times, sometimes a little tin type of sound. Personally I like the thicker, wetter sound of hydraulics, they also feel more substantial to play.
