A tom-tom drum (not to be confused with a tam-tam) is a cylindrical drum with nosnare.

Although "tom-tom" is the British term for a child's toy drum, the name came originally from the Anglo-Indian and Sinhala;[1] the tom-tom itself comes from Asian or Native American cultures. The tom-tom drum is also a traditional means of communication. The tom-tom drum was added to the drum kit in the early part of the 20th century.The drum kit

Are the Tom mounts on a Bass drum removable and do they affect the sound of the bass drum at all?
