Indeed I certainly do. I think it has a vintage look. I also think vintage kits before the late 60's. Anything newer seems modern to me. Just my thoughts don't hate me for it ;)

I have both and I have to say the single tom give me the warm fuzzy Vintage feel and look.

Yes, I have matured into that preferred setup after gigging with 2 up/1 down for most of 30 years. I also like Rogers with Swivomatic hardware for late 50's to mid 60's drums and Slingerlands with Set-o-matic from the mid 60's to early 70's.

No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.

The favorite set up. Even if you add second floor tom.

I have to agree with the plouhman swivo tom arms are my first choice BUT if i could have found a rogers set in Bonham sizes I would have bought it but i instead got ludwigs and if i am going that way it must have a rail consolette
