Rotekdrum One touch tuning

« on: March 30, 2008, 02:47 AM »

Anyone seen or tried this. Smitty's recent post got me searching again for a one touch tuning systems. I've seen the old arbiter and the more recent DTS but this one is new to me.

Intesting. Essentially turning a regular drum into a roto tom.

Probably very expensive. Probably adds quite a bit of weight.

Yep, and probably a hassle with Rim style mounts. The DTS system apparently have spacers to help with rims style mounting but it can still be a problem depending on the specific brand. And at around $30 per head for DTS not something I want to experiment with.
