Floating floor tom leg rubber feet

Posts: 1880 Threads: 292

Hey Guys,

Was just wondering if anyone saw a significant difference in the resonance of their floor tom with these Air Suspension rubber floor tom feet by Pearl ? There is also a Gibraltar version , and i was wondering if anyone had any experience with either of these products ? Any thoughts ?

Here's a link to Amazon.com to see the products in question.. Cheers !

yes especially with straight floor tom legs. They make a big difference on any vintage floor toms

Which of the two have you used ? I find the Gibraltar a lot more sleek looking and less bulky..

I got the Gibraltar ones because they were less expensive.

Ok, thanks for all the input guys.. I think i may go with the Gibraltar, simply because of the esthetic aspect.. I found an audio demo on youtube of a guy comparing a vintage set of original Ludwig rubber feet on a 3 ply floor tom, and then using the Gibraltar.. Significant difference between the two.. The demo works out for me coincidentally, since I will be using it on my 3 ply vintage Ludwig.. Thanks guys !
