Floor tom troubles
Hi, Drummer Granny!
I think the brand name you're trying to recall is Percussion Plus (I have a five-piece Percussion Plus set I bought back in 1998 (but didn't finish paying off until 2002!), and I've experienced a little ringing myself on my floor tom...
Might want to try pb's suggestion on checking the bearing edges and drummerdavie's suggestion about a tension key...although keep in mind the tuning should be even on all lugs no matter which kind of key you use. Have you tried tapping the head around the tom about two inches in from the lug? The sound should be the same at each lug--if it isn't that could contribute to the ringing, too...
Welcome aboard!
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
