Does it matter where you mount your rack tom from? | Season Two, Episode 35

There are all sorts of little design details that we like to focus on when it comes to our drums. Some of them have a massive impact on sound and some are more for aesthetics or even simply marketing. This week, we’re experimenting with the idea of whether or not it matters where you mount your rack tom from when it comes to the tone of the tom & the bass drum.
