The Rototom Set is equipped with a quick tuning system that allows instant tuning in a range of more than one octave. The Rototom Set does not have a traditional drum shell. Instead, the drum head and counterbar are mounted on an aluminum frame (spoke) through which the tension rods are attached to a base frame mounted on a threaded center bolt. Rotating the frame raises or lowers the tension, which raises or lowers the pitch of the drum. Their versatility has led to the widespread use of rototomes in live situations, recording studios, percussion ensembles, and symphonic concert music. Rototom sets feature two or three rototomes mounted on a single stand for versatility and convenience. Sizes 6", 8" and 10".
