Drummers Who Use An 18 Floor Tom

I play all rock music my 16 is pretty loud and would think the 18 would be a cannon maybe over kill.

Drummers who use an 18 floor tom. Ive been thinking of getting another floot tom my choices are either a 14 or 18. The 14 kind of seems it would be a little more versitile whatcha think. What would you do. This is an 18 inch floor tom which can deliver an outstanding level of sound quality for the drummers.

The 18 drum batter head has to be tuned up enough for it to get out of that papery sounding sloppy area and give it some tone and presence. What i have noticed at least for me is that you pretty much have to tune the 16 floor tom a tad higher than maybe you would if it was the only floor tom on the kit. Hence it has become one of the most popular options available among young drummers who are looking forward to spend their money on 18 inch floor toms available in the market.
