Not my first choice but how would you tune these 2 drums for general purpose playing?..I think the rack has potential to tune higher and I believe the floor would be limited to how low it could reach...but, I don't care for that distant thunder floor tom sound...This could be a situation where the heads make a big difference??
the rack is 14x8, the floor 14x14
Tune them both high and only loosen one of them at the reso head. They would have to accent each other.
I would try a Remo coated Ambassador on the rack tom top and bottom, and a Remo coated Powerstroke 4 batter on the FT, with a Remo coated Powerstroke 3 on the bottom.
Something about those coated PS3 and 4 that makes them growl. You can tune them both as you normally would, but the heads will make the pitch separation very balanced.
Interesting; I was not aware they offered PS3 OR 4 in 14" widths!..Love these forums.
Here is this configuration - The Shadows in the film Summer Holiday

Thx for sharing that...one of my favourite movies!!...is that a John Grey kit??
No, its a Premier 20"x14", 14"x14, 14"x8", 14"x4" snare
Single ply rack, double ply floor tom.
Was 14x8 a common size for British toms back then?
