Hi guys,i was wondering if it was possible to convert a rack tom into a snare.most prob a hi tom 10x8.has anyone done it before? How is it done and how does it sound like?
 
Both 10" and 12" toms would do fine. Even a floor tom too.

It is possible to convert it to a snare but you'll need to drill the holes and obtain the parts. I guess all you need to do is to calculate the distance between each lugs and throw off + butt plate, drill the holes, get a snare side hoop and snare wires and you should be good to go. I think someone over here in SOFT ever converted a rack tom to a snare but I forgot who it was. Haha. If you would like to explore even further, you could even create snare beds, change the bearing edge or even make reinforcement hoops.

Good luck and show us your finished rack tom to snare!
