Positive aspects of the product (pros):
|
unique sound, good feel,
|
|
Cons:
|
over size rims, difficult to mount, uses allen wrench to tune/change heads, replacement heads hard to get
|
|
First, these things are very hard to come by. Most places had no idea what I was talking about when trying to order them. The ones who did, had them on back order for months.
Mounting them on a set of tenors was a pain. The brackets and shells, well any accessories for the TSS drums are even harder to get then the drums them selves. I basically rigged them to mount on a set of tenors
Once in use, the drums sounded thin (we used the 6" snare version) hardly any snare response. After playing with the snare adjustment (which is 2 pieces of plastic between the snares and the head) I pretty much gave up. It does have a unique sound. Rim shots sound great, but without the shell it has no projection (compared to the spock next to it)
tuning and changing heads are not exactly quick. It requires a Allen wrench, (which comes with the drum) Remo seems to love to do this. Although I personally wish they used tension rods. The rim itself is in 2 pieces, making it a big target for us tenor guys. the head itself does not have a normal flesh hoop, its what appears to be stapled into a wooden hoop. once taken apart the whole drum comes apart, the stress ring is on 2 pieces as well. Changing heads is a rather long project.
As a note, just because it comes with a Max series head does not mean its amazing durable. After one season of use the drum head broke in the middle, destroying a few snare wires in the process. Seems to have the same durability as any other spock head.
In closing Remo has great Ideas, but the design seems to be flawed with this one. Let alone the logistics of this product. Originally Remo packaged these as complete tenor sets. Having dealing with only one, a full set would be nightmare.
If your looking for something as a "add on" drum. this could be for you. Outside of that it falls short.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
|
Same feel and power of a marching snare
|
|
Cons:
|
Weight, rims, sound
|
|
Well I got one of these and it worked for the time I had it. Now it doesn't have that many problems, but they are there. The rim is big and bulky, and makes rim shots a little difficult. It's quite heavy for being a practice pad/drum that size. However it pretty much is a drum, do you will get the same feel from it. But honestly, I would buy a Slimpad, or save the money for a real drum.

Sound is questionable, hard to tune, allen wrench tuning

Our school uses full sets of TSS tenors, as well as TSS snares. Neither sound as good as normal marching drums. We got these drums cheap when the band director bought them, because our old drum instructor works for Remo and he actually invented these. They are a really cool idea and look pretty slick, but the drumline and I are ready to get some Yamahas or something.
