Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
DW's Design Series Rata Tom is a single-headed, 5mm acrylic voice for adding tightly focused melodic accents to a drum setup. It can be tuned to selected notes or pitches, making it useful for building intervals across multiple rata toms. The acrylic shell is described as crisp and clear, while True-Pitch tuning hardware and True-Hoops support precise adjustment. Its TB12 bracket mounts directly to the shell for a compact, direct mounting arrangement.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding tuned melodic accents or rhythmic punctuation within an expanded drum configuration.
- Building note intervals across multiple rata toms for arranged percussion parts.
- Studio or stage setups where a direct-to-shell TB12 mounting arrangement is useful.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need a double-headed tom design.
