Tom Drum Stands - Mount Your Toms Without the Bass Drum

Most drummers mount their toms on the bass drum as standard - but there are good reasons to use a dedicated tom stand instead. Whether you're after a cleaner setup, better tom resonance, or more flexible positioning, a tom stand gives you options that bass drum mounting simply can't.

Should You Use a Tom Stand?

  • You want better tom resonance - Mounting toms on the bass drum creates contact points that can dampen the drum's natural sustain. A tom stand eliminates those contact points and lets the drum ring more freely - a popular choice for recording drummers
  • You want more flexible tom positioning - Tom stands let you place your toms exactly where you want them, independent of the bass drum. Useful if you play a non-standard configuration or want your toms further away from the kit
  • You want a cleaner, more open kit aesthetic - No hardware on the bass drum gives a cleaner look on stage and in photos - popular with jazz and session drummers
  • You want to mount a tom and cymbal from one stand - A cymbal tom combination stand (available from Sonor) holds both a tom and a cymbal from a single base, saving floor space without sacrificing positions

What's Available?

The range covers double tom stands from Natal, Sonor, Gretsch, and British Drum Company, and cymbal tom combination stands from Sonor in their 600 and 4000 series. All options use standard ball-and-socket tom arm fittings compatible with most drum brands.

Frequently Asked Questions

A tom drum stand is a freestanding hardware piece that holds one or more tom drums independently of the bass drum. Tom stands are used by drummers who want to mount their toms without attaching them to the bass drum hoop, giving a cleaner setup and more flexible tom positioning. They are available as single tom stands, double tom stands, and cymbal tom combination stands.
A double tom stand holds two tom drums from a single base, allowing both toms to be positioned independently of the bass drum. A cymbal tom combination stand holds both a tom drum and a cymbal from a single stand - reducing the total number of stands needed on stage and saving floor space. Sonor offers both types in their 600 and 4000 series ranges.
Mounting toms on a tom stand rather than the bass drum allows for more flexible tom positioning, reduces the weight and stress on the bass drum hoop, and can improve the resonance of both the toms and the bass drum by eliminating contact points. Tom stands are popular with recording drummers and players who want a cleaner, more open kit setup.
Into Music stocks tom drum stands from Sonor, Natal, Gretsch, and British Drum Company. The Sonor range includes the 600 Series and 4000 Series double tom stands and cymbal tom combination stands. Natal, Gretsch, and British Drum Company each offer double tom stand options suited to their respective kit ranges.
Most tom stands use a standard clamp and ball-and-socket mounting system that is compatible with a wide range of tom drum sizes and brands. However, it is worth checking the tom arm diameter and clamp size against your existing tom mounting hardware before purchasing. Our team in Horncastle can advise on compatibility if you're unsure.
Yes - next day delivery options are available across the UK on all tom drum stands. You can also visit our drum store in Horncastle, Lincolnshire to see stands in person before you buy.
