A friend of mine who works at a Mom and Pop music store (and runs the drum department) was showing me an adapter that mounts to the bottom hoop of your tom to make it larger, so it will fit better on a snare stand, and not sound as choked. So you can mount a 10" or 12" on a normal snare stand. It is basically just an extra hoop that goes all the way around, making the drum bigger. I remember it being a really simple, yet cool and effective design.I cannot remember who the company is that makes these, and a web search came up empty. I know they exist though, because I saw them with my own two eyes. I'll get in contact with my buddy, and I'll get back to this thread as soon as I hear.
wow, that sounds interesting!
