This suspension for a 14-inch tom follows this logic: an accessory focused on sound performance, designed to enhance openness and consistency of response while maintaining reliable installation on an 8-lug tom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Instrument Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis suspension is aimed at drummers from \u003cstrong\u003ebeginner to expert\u003c\/strong\u003e levels who want to improve the natural resonance of their 14-inch tom without changing the shell. It is particularly suited to styles seeking a more \"open\" tom and better note length: rock, pop, funk, fusion, gospel, as well as studio contexts where sound sustain and tuning stability are essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe key strength of this model lies in its \u003cstrong\u003e6 suspension points\u003c\/strong\u003e incorporating \u003cstrong\u003eisolation rubber\u003c\/strong\u003e. While some suspensions use only 2 lugs as support points, this design multiplies contact points to \u003cstrong\u003edistribute pressure more evenly\u003c\/strong\u003e across the lugs. The result: a more consistent feel of support, better distributed stress, and a configuration designed to preserve the shell's vibrational behavior as much as possible. The \u003cstrong\u003esquare plate\u003c\/strong\u003e facilitates integration with compatible shells, especially the \u003cstrong\u003eSparedrum TB4\u003c\/strong\u003e (recommended).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA suspension does not add \"color\" to the wood as changing the shell would, but it directly influences how the tom breathes. By limiting mechanical damping, this system helps the shell produce a more \u003cstrong\u003eopen\u003c\/strong\u003e sound, with generally longer \u003cstrong\u003esustain\u003c\/strong\u003e and a more natural \u003cstrong\u003eprojection\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifically, depending on your tom's wood species, the effect varies: on a \u003cstrong\u003emaple\u003c\/strong\u003e shell, the suspension will emphasize roundness and fullness, while on a \u003cstrong\u003ebirch\u003c\/strong\u003e shell, it will enhance the sense of a sharp attack while better expressing depth. In all cases, the rubber isolation helps maintain a more consistent response, particularly appreciated at low dynamics and during studio mic recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eRims suspension for 14-inch tom\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHole diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e8 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e8 lugs\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuspension points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e6 points\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:9;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible with Sparedrum shells\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eTB4 (recommended), TB5, TB1\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIsolation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eisolation rubber\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:10;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupport shell\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003enot included\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003esteel\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:5;--wb-r:11;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlate dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e128 x 59 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003echrome\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:6;--wb-r:12;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlate center-to-center spacing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eoutside to outside 62.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Sparedrum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54358177054995,"sku":"306113","price":36.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/c1109082281bc749afabcfec41cb0776223e84c2_SD_SPT_SQ_12_6.jpg?v=1789166261","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/sparedrum-tom-suspension-14-8-tension-rods-square-plate-306113","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
