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
The 6"/8"/10" Weiss Roto-Tom Set offers the iconic sound and versatility of these unique toms at a price that won't break the bank. Each drum is mounted onto a threaded bolt, allowing you to change the pitch quickly simply by rotating the drum. Turning the drum clockwise increases head tension to raise the pitch, while spinning it counterclockwise lowers the tension and pitch. This design allows you to make broad pitch adjustments in seconds without requiring a drum key, though you can still use a key for precise fine-tuning across the tension rods.
The three toms mount onto a metal mounting rail, which lets you slide and position each tom to your preferred spacing. The included stand is double braced and height-adjustable, and the roto-toms come with clear heads pre-installed.

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
