Millenium RT16 Roto Tom

nice way to add some different timbre sounds to your drumset relativly cheap,remo do not make 14+ sizes rototoms anymore, step up Millenium RT16 Roto Tom, stand and hardware are good, you need to hold the bolt underneat as you rotate to tighten, changed the stock head to an old remo pinstripe I had and get a lovely round attack tone starting around E2 hz, remember rototoms do not have much body so you need to microphone them when playing with other electric instruments, all in all great product!

I purchased this to act as a floor tom for practice at home (16" drums are generally considered floor toms in my experience). The stand and screw for this rototom don't go low enough for that, it goes to about 85 cms at a minimum, which is way too high for use as a floor tom.

Due to the design of the stand and the size of the drum you can't really angle it too much, it just becomes vertical.

I guess you could use it like a gong drum but the diameter of the drum would be too small.

Using it as a rack tom would be odd; it's quite a big drum for that and would be unstable and shaky when you play it. The fixture on the stand to angle it is weak and I would imagine hard hitters would find this unstable and would loosen it quickly.

It's a really poor design for something of this size, not great quality and effectively a pointless product. You can easily overtighten parts of the mechanism too.

It's too bulky to send back, has no value on the second hand market and isn't really fit for practice. It's junk really.

I honestly took it to my local landfill site and disposed of it the next day.

Avoid a semi expensive mistake and buy another product you can actually use for an extended period of time.
