I bought 3 of these for my toms, including the massive 16x16 floor tom, even with that it held strong effortlessly and did not change the sound of the drums, at all, and it is easily removable

I bought a set of these for my toms which had the mounts attached directly to the shells. Don't ever buy drums with the mounts on the shells, it kills the resonance. Anyway, these were a big improvement over what I had. I then tried out the RIMS style mounts, and was very impressed! The Optimounts still keeps the shell from resonating to its full extent. I like my toms to sing out. If you prefer a more dead sound, then you'd probably like these, if not look for RIMS.

I want to start by saying this an awsome mount! Only problem I had was th 15-16" mount didnt fit my 16" floor tom. It did however fit my 18"... a litle odd but the lugs were to far apart for the mount. Wish I could find one to fit my 16!

These mounts are an excellent way to upgrade your mounted tom sound, but be aware that when removing your old mounts you will be left with a hole in the drum in most cases. I am a drummer and drum restorer/rebuilder, and the perfect time to do this upgrade is when recovering your drums. That enables you to cover and fill the location of the old tom mount. A GREAT way to give new life to an older kit for MUCH less $ than buying a new set. My personal kit is a 30+ year old 6 ply Mahagony (12" and 13")and 6 ply Maple (10", 14", 16") Pearl Export set, and I removed the plastic covering, filled all breaches (holes) in the mounted tom shells, and recovered them in an Ash wood veneer, followed by a hand rubbed gloss urethane finish, topped off with the Optimounts, they sound like a Masters series kit now and look totally custom. For a bit of sweat and much fewer $ than I would have to pay to replace them....SWEEEET! The original hardware on these drums is chromed so well that when cleaned and polished and remounted on the shells it looks new.

These are great Tom Mounting System. It can be used for the following types of tom toms.8" with 5 tension rod, and 10", 12", 13" with 6 tension rod. tom toms with 14",15" and 16" with 8 tension rod. Those spec were given on the web page are for the dept of the tom toms only. be sure of what type or how many tension rod of your drums before placing an order just to avoid the hassle of have to return the product later. So don't say I didn't warned you.
