I also use the Pearl suspension feet and they made a noticeable difference in the before/after test. So I sold the Dynamount, drilled the shell for legs, and haven't looked back. Also, those Gibraltar brackets were used, which required a drum key for installing the legs. It's definitely an improvement over "hanging" a large tom, but I didn't like how it made the drum bulkier, it was still a little wobbly, and it made changing the resonant head a pain. My kit originally had a 15-inch "hanging tom," but the previous owner installed a RIMS Dynamount. Another downside is a lot of metal hardware blocking the shell, but my drums have a black finish, so it blends in pretty well.įor size 14" and up, I prefer legs. One downside is they are heavy, but I'm just using a size small on one tom, so it's not too bad. I ditched the RIMS style mount that came with my 13" tom and replaced it with a Pearl Optimount, which I think is the best balance between resonance and stability. I don't like their wobbly nature, but the resonant difference is noticeable enough to me that I use them. For smaller toms up to 13", I find suspension mounts to be a necessary evil.
