So,if he drilled for the cymbal mount....that would be extra holes,no?

THANKS, O-Lugs!

You know that I value your opinion.

The kit was ordered with two rail consolettes which it has, so those were factory-drilled holes as were those for the cymbal mount.

I consider an "extra" hole on a shell something that's not being utilized and something that was more than likely drilled to mount non-original hardware. In the strictest sense, however, I'm sure that you're correct.

Sexy kit dude.

I've always been a Rogers man myself, but since I got my super classics I'm beginning to turn.

Rock on.

Blonks.

If the kit was drilled at the factory,they should NOT be considered extra holes.....

I just don't recall ever seeing extra rails/cymbal mounts being drilled at the factory........

Have you ever taken the mounts off,and seen how clean/accurate the holes are?

Maybe the guy dreamed that he ordered them that way.........seen that before........

Example.........guy swears to me he bought them new in 58,but date stamps inside are 1960.....how did he do that?

I purchased the kit from the son of the original owner. He mentioned that his father had special-ordered the "dual" rail consolettes as well as the mount for the cymbal L-arm. I've got no reason to question him and, more importantly, I really don't care at this point. In direct response to your question, I have taken the mounts off and the holes are extremely clean and accurate.
