Excellent for the price ....
When I bought these I got a text saying ... the 1980s called they want their drums back! I took it on the chin .... and pressed ahead. I'm glad I did. In small venues the ability to tune the heads easily between songs adds a definite edge to the overall sound.
The hardware is excellent for light to medium use, it's easy to set up as a 2 or 3 piece set. I play quite lightly as a rule in small to medium sized venues so the Rotos aren't lost in Tom residue from attacking them!
My only complaint (and I was fully prepared for this) was the drum heads, replaced as soon as I could with Remos ... sound difference is definitely appreciable - But as long as you are prepared to do this they are still a lot cheaper than buying a "big name" set.
Overall very impressed especially considering the price.

Very nice roto toms
These are a very nice set of roto toms. You get a very high tone from the smallest drum which is great for reggae beats. The lowest drum can go quite low but too loose and the tone is lost. I prefer the bright sounds when they are tight myself. They can work on full kit or as a percussion instrument to compliment a full kit. The hardware on these drums are pretty strong and they stand very steady. They can be angled in many ways and they can stand very tall so it would fit a variety of kits both big and small. Or they could be stood with other percussion instruments. I am getting great use out of these roto toms with a large range of tones available from them.

Great if you like variation in your drum sound.
To be fair, our drummer ordered these because he’d been listening to Rush and Pink Floyd (think Red Barchetta and Time) and while they did the job admirably, the quality wasn’t up to that of his current kit, but nonetheless they enabled him to achieve the sound he’d/we’d been looking for.
To sum up, made for a price but did the job that was required…heads might need replaced sooner than normal drums, but still, worth the money.

Excellent value for money
I bought these roto toms to use on just one song in our set and was expecting them to be poor quality as the price tag was so cheap. I was pleasantly surprised, the stand is really sturdy with quick release clamp. the tom castings are a little rough around the edges but the sound is excellent. I will probably invest in better quality heads as the single ply heads provided will probably not last too long, but overall, this set is excellent value for money.

Sounds like a rototom
I bought it wanting a set of rototoms to expand my sound. They function great and they sound as they should. Only comlpaint is the stand, it's quite limited in height and adjustability. But it works great if you just want it above your hihat for example.

Good bang for the buck
Al ot of fun and good and sturdy. A nice addition to a drum set. Others mention the skins - TBH they are fine - you willl not necessarily use these rotos often just for accents. All in all the build quality and the skins etc. are all good and good value for money.

cheap roto toms
excellent value roto toms if you're on a budget! good enough build quality. Stand not the best but also definitely not the worst. Stable enough to do gigs! used mine recently & had no complaints. I did change the skins/heads as the ones supplied are not great. But that goes with any drums you buy! if you want roto toms then get these as you won't be disappointed especially for the price.

Roto Toms
The drums themselves aren't too bad, but like all drums, they need the heads/skins changing as they are fairly poor. I only bought these drums for a recording project. They are not as good as Remo Roto toms but they served a purpose. The stand is a bit wobbly, but the drums are stable.

Great Sounds at a Great Price
I bought these Roto Toms to add a different sound to my set up. They are easily adjusted to change the pitch of the drum by simply Rotating the head to tighten or loosen the head. The sturdy stand has double leg bracing and the two piece construction means that you could attach the toms to your kit using a Tom clamp or similar. The sound could be described as a more dance/ disco tone which you would not get from normal toms.

Roto toms 6l8l10”
Nice alternative on the original Rototoms and much lower in price. Good quality material used and easy to set up. Nice add to any drumset.
The stand could be a bit stronger and better in quality . Then it would be perfect. All by all a good set and happy with it !
