Man that's a beautiful kit, I think you have the size wrong on the snare drum it looks to be a 5x14"?

Man, those are super nice, love the natural maple interiors. Do you have a picture of the original tom mount? Do you know if any holes were added for the newer mount?

The snare is a 5x14

There is only one way to put that mount on that bass...it should have had the rail mount originally...correct? That would mean it has been drilled, and as such....well, we know what happens.

EDIT: IF it was originally a rail mount.....

I couldn't see any spare holes, so I was figuring it was originally a Hollywood set up (dual tom mount).

Tillerva is correct-Hollywood Kit with both mounted toms original.

Additional pics posted on Photobucket. I remember replacing it-just different adjustment type dual tom holder with simialr size 4 screw receiver mount-went in the same hole-no extra holes.

Thanks for the correction on the snare.

Thumbnail of the additional hardware. Note the original tom mount receiver in the lower left by the Speed King.

your hardware is sweet, Atlas snare drum stand and hihat stand and two model 1400 cymbal stands a speed king pedal, and your center post mount is model 781 from 1966-68 sweet!!

Read up on vintage Ludwig drums before you make ridiculous assumptions like that.

Leave these drums for the big boys.
