I Did the Unthinkable

Loading...

I added a cymbal mount to the kick. I had to drill a couple holes, but I had this L-arm sitting around and I wanted to put it to use. I really like having my ride on the kick and it saves me from having to lug around another cymbal stand to gigs. I used a vintage Ludwig mount, so at least it looks like it's original to the kit.

Very funny....Normally we get drums that have holes and we are sad but we don"t normally punch through shells. When did this change ? I must have been sleeping or something.Mind Blowi

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Good for you! A bass drum without cymbal mount is a crippled drum. flower

Exactly! I was just righting a wrong. Ludwig had cymbal mounts on pretty much all kits with a single tom.

I'm also thinking about adding a rail to accommodate the clip mount on the 13" tom.Eye Ball

Hmmm... maybe you can sell this kit and get one that is what you want?

Not a Guru... just interested..

Well, if adding a manufacturer's cymbal arm mount to a bass drum shell is something to mourn, then we must lament that all the manufacturers did that on many of their drums. The question is Mark, did you "mark" out the drill holes carefully, use the right size drill bit, drill it straight through the shell and avoid blowing out a bunch of the inner ply of the drum? In other words, did you do it like the manufacturer (usually) did it? And yes, I realize you don't have a double-spindle drilling station in your storage cubical. If you did all that, my lips are sealed.
