    how long have u been playing eligacer? I just eventually found a comfortable position for my drums, although ill probly change it around one day. I once was in your shoes, but then you just eventually find a comfortable place for your drums and then you can move into more exiting aspects of drumming hehe

    By "mid tom," I take it you're playing two or more side toms on your kit? Most kits I see have just enough space for two side toms...unless you're using a drum rack, you almost have to have any extra side toms on a tripod stand, off to one side.

    As funkster suggested, a pic of your set would help, but the way you describe the situation, you might have a problem with the extra side toms being hard to reach., especially if you play a big floor tom (or two floor toms).

    I like to have the side toms tilted toward me at about a 45 degree angle...but as Ch33zz says, experiment and try a position that works for you...

    Good luck, man!

    I have both my mounted toms angled towards me at about a 45 degree angle and my floor tom is also angle toward me but not quite as much. I just experimented to see where i liked them, just takes time man. Good luck!

    the really thing is the "metal" around the mid tom(2nd tom) and the "metal" (screw) around the bass drum, there's a metal to metal contact: when i position it to my desire, it worn out between the two metal....
