Recently, I have been improving the layout of my drumset. One of the additions to my kit so far was a set of roto toms. I've noticed that every time I play on them, the lug nuts tune down slightly. After a while, they are disproportionate to the rest of my drumset. How can I prevent the toms from going out of tune every time I hit them, without tightening them to the point of no return?

It seems to me that the design of the tuning mechanism will vary from model to model, and this is a question for the customer support of whoever made yours. They should stay in tune. – slim Feb 15 at 13:34
What's the brand of your stand? If you can, slide in some cloth between the shaft and the locking nut to create more friction. – percusse Feb 16 at 0:21
