FLOOR-TOM TUNING MECHANISM

Christian Raquin owns an Asba kit that was originally played by Daniel Humair. This kit included a foot-operated floor tom tuning mechanism.

The mechanism is based around a simple lever mechanism mounted inside the floor tom with a plunger that pushes up onto the centre of the drum head.

The lever is pulled by a strap attached to a foot pedal which itself is attached to the floor tom leg.

Since this kit was originally owned by Danial Humair - a left handed drummer - the foot pedal attaches to the right hand side of the drum.
