How to place the toms on the drum kit? When I watched Cobus’s video, his toms and snare drum were very close to each other and at about the same height. How to place the toms?

My friend upstairs said it in great detail, but I will still give my personal opinion. ! The biggest obstacle for Chinese and Europeans and Americans to play drums is endurance, and the placement of drums directly affects the state and error rate of drumming and drumming. This is due to the impact of height. Cobus's first video used PDP drums. The drums were very cheap, a set costing several thousand RMB. The cymbals were PST5, which cost more than 2,000 yuan for a set. Here I will tell you my opinion.

1. Because foreigners are generally taller than us, while the sizes of the toms and bass drums are the same as those we use, the snare drum stand can be raised higher and can be more comfortable. Approximate tom height (this opinion is based on drum size and configuration based on the PDP drum video, excluding independent bass drum and suspended toms).

2. Nowadays, most high-end drums are independent bass drums. What is an independent bass drum? It means that there are no holes in the drum and the tom rack is not allowed to be placed on the bass drum. In this way, the sound of the bass drum is improved. It can be better, then after the bass drum is separated, the toms originally mounted on the bass drum also need to be separated. The toms are usually fixed on the cymbal stand next to it with small clips, or a large stand specially used to hold the toms is used. Stand the tom, or use a snare stand to stand the tom, so that the position, height, and angle of the tom can be adjusted at will. This is very convenient for drummers to play, and it is also easy to disassemble.
