Good floor tom recommendations ?

Brett 123 · 15th August 2011

I'm looking for a decent 16' floor tom , not too expensive though with a nice bouncy full tone ?

Thanks ,Brett

I usually use the floor tom that comes with a kit.

Probably one that matches the rest of the kit would be best...

Unless, it's not for use with a whole drum kit?

I have an 18" that came with the kit I have . Though would like second 16" with a good but different kind of tone .

Thanks ,

Brett

Pearl Floor Toms generally give a fat full tone.
The best sound I`ve ever heard is a Yamaha Recording Custom Floor.
These are mostly easily to rent as it is a well known studio set.
Try to find one of those.
