Yeah, I was under the impression that the hole spacing was the same, so I just popped one on a late-60s Hollywood Ace that had a busted Zoomatic and extra holes...and some minor fire damage. When I got hold of a Slingerland 3-point, it wouldn't fit. So, although this is a player drum, I'm putting a Rapid on it like it should have had and - after some plugged holes, filler, a fresh coat of "chocolate milk" inside, and green glass wrap - it's gonna look like it should have in the late-60s...just with a few internal "war wounds." The drum sounds amazing as it is.
I'm sure yours will sound fantastic as well. I'm a sucker for deep snare drums (as you know from helping me with the 7x14 cigar band drum...which I've fallen deeply in love with). And I agree with Mark, knowing your talents, your drum is gonna look stunning when you're done.
Good luck and share pics of the process!
