Yes, you can attach a tom to a cymbal stand, provided that the tom has the correct mount. Most toms come with a clamp that attaches to a cymbal stand, but you may need to purchase a separate mount if yours does not have one. Once the tom is mounted, you can adjust the height and angle to your liking.
There's no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the amount of compression that's ideal for a tom depends on the specific drum, the shell material, the tuning, and the playing style. However, in general, most toms benefit from some degree of compression, which helps to even out the sound and sustain. Too much compression can make a tom sound lifeless and dull, so it's important to experiment to find the perfect balance.
No, not every drum set has a tom mount. This is because some people prefer to have their tom drums free-standing, or they may have a set-up that doesn't require one. Additionally, some people simply don't like the sound that tom mounts can produce.
There are a few things you can do to make toms not echo as much. One is to put carpet or other sound-absorbing materials on the walls around the drums. Another is to use tom-mounted mutes, which attach to the drums and dampen the sound. Finally, you can adjust the drumheads themselves to reduce resonance and echo.

If you don't want to purchase a rack system and you have extra toms or a lot of cymbals, the best stands currently available. I use one of them on either side of my drum set, and I also have one of the three cymbal/tom holders coming out of my bass drum, so in total, 9 items are supported by these three supports. These are expensive, but they are totally worth it. Instead of spending approximately $100 on three cymbal stands, it is preferable to purchase one of them for 110 dollars and three cymbal arms for roughly $30 to $35 each (maybe even more if you compared quality).

Before reading some of the reviews, I was apprehensive to get the lightweight double Tom stand. Given that this "low weight" stand is more durable than the majority of Tom stands I have used over the years, I was really astonished that DW thinks this is a lightweight stand. The 8" and 10" DW Toms that I mounted on the stand don't move at all. You only need this DW stand if you have two Tom drums. Excellently made and attractive stand!

As a drummer for 20 years and a previous employee of a music store, I have used a variety of drum hardware over the years. This hardware package was purchased to complement a second kit. I am completely astounded by the quality of this gear considering the cost. For mid-range hardware that would easily endure several years of moderate to heavy use, the price is nearly entry-level. This package is an incredible value only based on the bass drum pedal, which is remarkable for what you typically get in a hardware pack. It easily competes and surpasses many pedals you'd find in the $100 area. The stands are fairly heavy, and the tightening mechanisms give off a strong sense of security. The hi-hat pedal is well-built and can endure even more forceful drumming techniques. This kit (the one with the two cymbal stands) cost me $176, however I just noticed that it just decreased to as little as $160. It would be difficult to find a greater value at this pricing.

Because of the cost, I found this and liked it. I was mostly searching for the clamp, but this seemed like a perfectly acceptable substitute. The tom arms are your standard pearl style, so I removed them and put my l rod arms, which fit nicely (pro tip for all you newbies: preserve everything, you never know when some hardware may come in handy). It would have been nice if it worked as a cymbal stand for me as an added option, but no harm done here, the price for the tom clamp was adequate. The only thing I didn't like was the cymbal tilter didn't get a tight grip on the threaded boom. Even after taking it apart and putting it back together, it was still no good, so I just disassembled it and kept it off.

There are a few things you can do to stop snare buzz when hitting toms. One is to make sure your snare is in the correct position. Another is to check the tension of your snare wires. If they are too loose, they will buzz. You can also try muting the snare with your hand or a piece of tape.
There's no one answer to this question - it depends on the style of music you're playing, the sound you're going for, and the acoustics of the room you're playing in. That said, generally speaking, toms should be played at a volume that's just loud enough to be heard over the rest of the drums and instruments in the band. If they're too quiet, they'll get lost in the mix; if they're too loud, they'll overpower everything else. Experiment and find the right balance for your situation.
The answer to this question is yes, the snare head should be tighter than the batter head. The reason for this is because the snare head is what produces the majority of the snare sound, so it needs to be tight in order to produce a good sound. The batter head is less important in terms of sound production, so it doesn't need to be as tight.
There isn't really a right answer to this question - it depends on what sound you're going for and what other instruments you're using. If you're looking for a more traditional sound, then mono toms might be the way to go. But if you're looking for something with a bit more depth and dimension, then stereo toms might be a better option. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide what sounds best for your particular setup.
Alex Van Halen's drum kit is made up of a bass drum, two tom-toms, a floor tom, two crash cymbals, a ride cymbal, and a set of hi-hats. He also uses a snare drum, but it is not part of his main kit.
The Beatles used a Ludwig Oyster Black Pearl three-piece drum set during their early years. The set included a 22-inch bass drum, a 13-inch tom-tom, and a 16-inch floor tom. The set was originally purchased by Ringo Starr in 1962 and was used on many of the band's early recordings.
