Octobans

Bajaao brings to you octobans, also known as tube toms, which are deep, small diameter, single-head tom-toms. Octobans were originally grouped in melodically-tuned sets of eight, hence the name, in reference to octave and from octo meaning "eight". Complete and half sets of octobans are commonly mounted in clusters of four, in a square pattern. Mounts for four drums in a straight line, dual mounts for two drums, and individual mounts are all also reasonably common. In a drum kit, octobans are most commonly placed to the left of a right-handed drummer, above the hi-hats. Octobans have become an essential part of a complete drum kit and have been played by progressive drummers from Simon Phillips to Stewart Copeland to Mike Portnoy.
