Tom Mounting Systems and Tone

Does the mounting system affect the tone of my drums?

The answer is ABSOLUTELY! The more hardware you physically have onany drum, the more it will cut back on the shell's vibration, creating a loweramount of resonance. The fewer the holes in the shell, the truer the tone andresonance will be. This is why you will find kits with floating hardware. Floatinghardware allows the tom mount to be attached from the lugs or rim, rather thanbeing bolted down into the wood. It allows the shell to vibrate more freely.Every drum manufacturer tries to keep the amount of lugs and mounts to aminimum, while still making the drum durable. This will provide moreflexibility when trying to find your drum tone.
