Floor Tom
I've never seen--or heard--a floor tom with the legs mounted to the lower rim. If they were, Riff, your floor tom would be flat on the floor right now since you're minus the reso head and hoop ...
I played a floor tom without the reso head and, as PB said, you'd have "that (not-so-great) 70s sound" ... depending on the set you're playing, you should be able to order a replacement hoop (or maybe even find one in stock), so you can put a reso head on the bottom...
Good luck, bro'...
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
