As drummers we often think about ease of positioning and setup when choosing a tom mount, but how often do we take tone into consideration?
How much does the type of tom mount affect tone? Which mounting allows for the most resonance? To answer these questions we've conducted a sound comparison experiment to directly compare 3 mounting solutions:

- Conventional Kick Mount
- Cymbal Stand Clamp
- Snare Stand Basket (Loose & Tight)
