Editing Rototom (section)

==Description==
=== Tuning ===
Rototoms can be tuned quickly by rotating the drumhead, which sits in a threaded metal ring. Rotation raises or lowers the tension hoop relative to the rim, which increases or decreases the pitch of the drum by increasing or decreasing the tension of the drumhead.

=== Sizes ===

Drum company [[Remo]] has historically offered rototoms in seven diameters: {{Convert|6|in|cm}}, {{Convert|8|in|cm}}, {{Convert|10|in|cm}}, {{Convert|12|in|cm}}, {{Convert|14|in|cm}}, {{Convert|16|in|cm}}, and {{Convert|18|in|cm}}. However, as of 2023, Remo only offers rototoms ranging from a 6 to 10 inch diameter as part of a set that includes a mounting rail and stand. All other sizes have been discontinued. Each one is tunable over an octave's range or more, although the company notes that the practical range is approximately a [[Interval (music)#Main intervals|sixth]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Remo Inc. |date=1981 |title=Remo RotoToms |url=http://www.drumarchive.com/Remo/Remo_Roto_Toms.pdf |page=2}}</ref>
