I used to play the drums in a rock band a loooooong time ago (which is why I don't understand jazz).
But I never had tom toms like those to practice on.
I wonder how you tighten the vellum when it gets loose?
Or is it all plastic these days?

Depends.
In Essex, it's definitely plastic with an influx of silicone....

Silicone probably also adds a different quality to the sound of the snare drum. More of as crack than a thump. I should think.

I used to play percussion instruments,and still currently own 3 sets of conga drums.I'm just wondering how I could trade off a set for one of those nicely tuned hides...

Hey will come on over and play with me (giggle).
I do have a soundproof studio...
Does not get used nearly enough.
It got built (converted garage) when I first moved here and had to wait months for my bar app to be processed.
I met a guy who wrote the best original songs ever, (sang and played guitar). He had his own drummer and bass player, so they all moved in.
My then bf played lead guitar. We called ourselves "Roxx". Fun times. Leon was one kick ass drummer.
"I know it's only rock and roll but I like it".
And I also understand (and love) jazz.

I dare you not to want to tap your foot or get up and dance!

Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich and Paul Distel (who I don't know). Very cool guys.
I always loved Ginger Baker of the Cream too. But if you see him today (or at least recently on youtube) he looks like an old retired insurance salesman tending his hydrangeas and hugging trees - not the red headed, wild-eyes druggie who used to bash the hell out of his drums and broke a dozen pairs of sticks a gig.
Times change us all, I guess.
Back to the potting shed then...
