Has anybody tried all three.
Specifically.. the thinner shelled fully round / flat bearing edges of some of the 70's drums vs the 60's outside roundover edge. For all the toms.

I've owned all three, have the ssb and drop g now, I prefer them over the round badge. The sound from those shells with the sharper bearing edges sounds better to my ears.
Nice. My kit is mixed. Rb and drop g tom, early ssb bass.
I have never heard a vintage drop g kit in person. I have played round badge .. and individual ssb drums.
Had a SSB that was gorgeous. Sold it recently for a small profit. Great 70's sound. Really good recording kit.
I have a RB badge set up in my practice room, even more tone for my ear. Lots of charactar in the sound.
In all the toms are similar-ish. The edge goes to the RBs. But the big leap for me is in the Kik drum. The tone on the RB leaves the SSB standing.
IMHO
I guess a better question is... which are louder? Which have more stick definition?
Round badge kick drum by a long shot. Many recordings of other kits with an old rb kick. A friend has a 20" and it is killer.
The toms are all good- maybe one is better than another for a specific tuning or sound, but they are all serviceable. Rim mounts (or snare basket) and the 12's sing out.

There's 2 testimonials.

Out of the RB's and SSB's, I really couldn't say theres anything in it for all out VOLUME. But the RB toms are more articulate for me.
