Not surprisingly, floor toms are a different beast in comparison to rack toms when it comes to tuning. The depth of the drum affects the relationship between batter and reso heads and the alternative mounting system alters how the drum moves.

In this episode, we provide an overview for basic tom tuning with a 14x14" floor tom with an Evans UV1 batter and Evans G1 coated reso. Keep an eye out for a detailed videos on achieving specific tom sounds with various head and tuning combinations in the future.
