Carlton Bass Drums & Tom-Toms
Why Small Type Bass Drums? The vogue has changed. More Tom-Toms, larger and deeper ones, must now be included in the layout of your outfit. The range of your stick-work is taxed to the utmost. It is now necessary for you to have everything within easy reach to be on the beat, and that's where the new small-type Carlton plays the part. It permits easier access to all your equipment, it is appreciably lighter and less cumbersome, and yet tone and appearance are by no means impaired.
