   I just got a roto tom on ebay. Only thing is it didn't come with the rack that holds it in place so it can be rotated. I decided to convert the bottom of an old cymbal stand. 

Here are some pics showing how I did it.

	With that setup, can the rototom be angled at all? I'm wondering if something like a camera tripod would work better. You might have to drill and replace the screw that the camera normally mounts too, but you'll be able to angle it.
	Listen to Ron & Fez. Listen to Bill Burr.

	That's a good idea but I'm not sure how a camera tripod would hold up to a constant beating. I'd rather cut the pipe and use it with a multi clamp to get the angle. However I don't need it angled as I'll use it on my left side like a floor tom.
