"I’m Chris and now we are going to speak about the Rotary Toms. The rotary toms are the least likely used drums on my drum set. A lot of drummers don’t really incorporate these in their drum sets. You very rarely see these. A lot of older drummers or hard core stylist drummers use these drums. I prefer these drums because they add texture and they add a variety of sounds for me as a drummer. I use these primarily for songs that I’m playing when I’m playing something more cultural, a tribal piece, so let me demonstrate. "
