Interesting idea you have going here. I have a Apollo tom in red sparkle that some dirtbag mounted a Yamaha mount on. I would like to try the dowel trick on it but I am wondering where to get the wrap needed. The wrap is faded so taking a peice from under a lug wont match very good. I hate to just put the Yamaha mount back on. Mabye snitch a peice from the bottom of the bas drum? I no that red sparkle is common but I like it, especialy the vintage faded red sparkle. Rather not do an entire re-wrap on them as these holes are really the ony issue.
Thanks for the tip!
