context_page_description: A rim mount is a drum kit accessory that allows a drum to be supported without any contact to its shell. The rim mount attaches instead to the drum rim or hoop.
  Most commonly used for hanging toms, they are also available for floor toms, and more rarely for bass drums and snare drums. Hanging tom and snare drum rim mounts use a standard hanging tom mount, but attached to the rim mount rather than directly to the drum. Bass drum rim mounts use special-purpose clamps to attach to a drum rack. Floor tom rim mounts may be attached to a rack, or provide places for the three traditional floor tom feet to attach.
  Bulkier and heavier than traditional mounts, they generally require drum cases one size larger.
