Hi everyone. Moving along on my Slingerland project. I have a question about the first generation of the set o matic tom holder. I put both toms (12"-13") on the mount last night and dropped the angle back far as I could. The toms are almost level. Hmmmm...... for the heck if it I pitched the mount back the other way and I get the tom angle I like. But this puts the toms forward way over the bass drum to the point of looking awkward. I remember my 70's SOM not having the best angle travel either but it was better than this. Is this pretty common for the earlier 60's version? I have the tom mounts on the correct sides of the 12 and 13 toms. And the set o matic ball and parts are assembled correctly. That was my first thought I mixed something up but it's all good. Is this is just the way it is??? :confused: If so I see a 70's SOM in my future. LOL.
Glenn.
