    Hi folks, thanks for the info. Big Boy is more of an exhibition type tom IMO. I'm not looking for whoppers, so I reckon 4 to a truss should be about right. Anyway, it's a starting point and all part of the learning process. I'll report back on how it goes :thumb:
    Cheers...freddy.

    I think that particular one is a mutant, but they all have the ridged look :lollol:

    They seem to be only about 4 in each truss mostly, so they are self sizing :dh:

    Very good Pam. They look so much better than my sorry attempts at beef toms.
