on the Nightwalker cd, i know Vinnie's kit was augmented by drums from Gino's kit, but i believe they were double headed drums but just with either tape and or 2 ply heads.
the sounds are much different on that disc then brother to brother.

my fav Nigel performance is the Captain Fantastic cd by Elton John, front to back that record is a masterpiece.

Single headed (concert) toms will KILL your tone... it will be nothing but staccato attack. If you want a "nostalgic" sound from the 70's, then single heads might be the way to go... personally I think the whole "single head rules era" was a bit, i dunno, lame! Tone is important to every instrument and there is more resonance with double heads.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">what era is that? concert toms were in vogue as an option in the 70s/early 80s- not what i would consider a lame era for music.Quote:

A bit before my time I guess I missed out! One of those "you had to be there" type of scenarios maybe.Quote:

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I disagree. Concert toms sound different, for sure, but there's still tone. Just not much (if any) resonance. It's a beautiful sound for some applications. Hardly 'lame'.Quote:

Don't knock it if you haven't tried it.

Keep in mind that with Phil Collins you are not hearing organic single headed drums. You are hearing the original sound manipulated by a ton of reverb, noise gates, compression and a lot of other processing. Yeah, very cool drum sound - I agree, but do you expect the average single-headed tom kit to sound like the drums on "In The Air Tonight"!?
Funny enough the drummer from the opening band of my gig last night was using a single headed Ludwig kit... and it sounded terrible.
Too bad Phil Collins wasn't the soundman that night! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
