Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
The "Rims" type suspension concept has become a benchmark among drummers seeking to free the natural vibration of the tom. This universal plate version aligns with that spirit: offering a reliable mounting solution focused on performance, while remaining versatile enough to integrate with many hardware configurations and mounting shells.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
This suspension is aimed at beginner to advanced drummers who want to improve their tom's resonance without changing shells. It is especially suitable for styles where the tom needs to breathe and sing: rock, pop, fusion, funk, gospel, as well as in studio contexts where every detail of sustain and projection matters. It is also a relevant choice for musicians who frequently transport their kit and seek a stable and repeatable mounting.
Features and Innovations
The uniqueness of this model lies in its 4 suspension points with isolation rubber. Whereas some suspensions rely on only 2 lugs, this design distributes the effort more evenly, which can contribute to a more consistent feel and better-controlled stress on the mounting area. The universal plate targets compatibility with most mounting shells: depending on the shape and thickness of certain shells, adding a blocking plate or extra washers may be necessary for perfect alignment.
Sound
A tom suspension does not add "sound" in the strict sense, but it directly influences how the shell can vibrate. By reducing contact points and mechanical constraints, this type of mounting generally helps the tom develop a longer sustain and a more open resonance, with a more natural projection.
The result depends on the wood and construction of the tom: a maple shell often gains roundness and perceived fullness, a birch shell retains its attack and precision while breathing more, whereas more "controlled" shells may seem less muffled. The main benefit remains a freer response, useful both acoustically and when miked.

Questions frequently asked
Is this mount compatible with a 13-inch tom with 6 lugs?
This mount is designed for a 13-inch tom equipped with 6 lugs.
Does the universal plate fit all tom shells?
The universal plate aims to be compatible with most mounting shells. Depending on their shape and thickness, adding a blocking plate or extra washers may be necessary to ensure proper alignment.
How many suspension points does the Sparedrum SPT-UN-13-6-BR have?
The mount uses 4 suspension points with isolation rubber. This design distributes pressure more evenly than a system using 2 lugs.
What effect does it have on a tom's resonance?
Reducing mechanical stress generally allows the shell to vibrate more freely, resulting in longer sustain and a more open resonance.
What is the finish and size of the plate?
The structure is steel with a brass plating finish. The universal plate measures 129 x 85 mm. This size provides a concrete reference to check the clearance on the tom.
