It's OK...one of two things can be done.

1) Use a different type of legs.

2) Ask around, we can find you another shell in B/S pretty easily. What size is the bass?

Well I measured all of them earlier and the bass was 20x14 and I was considering using a fold up type leg or the curved Ludwig ones are pretty sweet.

I ordered new snare hardware earlier, I also looked at the lever on the strainerand it seems that it is supposed to be bent like that as it is perpendicular to the shell and very thick and difficult to bend.

And so I dont forget and for future refference the other drums measure

Bass: 20x14

Floor tom: 16.5x16

Tom1: 12.5x8

Tom2: 13.5x9

snare:14 (I didn't measure depth here )

Also thanks for all the help so far guys without you I'd still be staring wondering what the heck it is

I've replaced those type spurs with Pearl Export style swivel spurs on 2 bass drums now.It goes from wiggly-walk to rock solid.They are available on Ebay for approx $30 delivered .Quadruple-check before you drill for exact positioning,with the spur in it's extended position.I believe mine ended up at around 8 and 4 o'clock.On one set I filled the old spur hole with a short carriage bolt and 2 slightly contoured flat fender washers,on the other I left the old spur mounts there.That rectangular sticker on the bass looks like a Penncrest logo,MIJ stencils made for J.C.Penney.I repaired and recut a floor tom exactly like yours for a customer-double round over profile.It ended up being one of the best sounding floor toms I'd ever heard.

I have a 20" in good condition if you want it, and it even matches....However, mine is a 9 ply.

Well I dont know the difference in 9 ply and whatever mine may be but I'd really appreciate it. Im sinking some money into my car right now but as soon as that's done ill be buying hardware and repair items. Might be a month or so.

The floor tom legs mounts were used on late 60s to mid 70s drums,i have seen them on both no name drums made by pearl and star..As for the parts missing on the set i have two of the floor tom leg mounts,the one in the photo has the wrong wing-nut,the wing nut is a "T" shape..I also have the bass drum leg mounts and legs and any tom mounting parts that you would need also have the claws for the bass drum but No t-rods..email if you like thats the best way you can try a P.M. but my box gets full all the time...Mikey

Hey, guys sorry I kinda left you all for a while but ive had some stuff come up.

Ive decided im going to replace the bass shell just wondering what it would cost Ill pm you fellas that said you had the stuff I need when I get a chance

thanks a lot for all the help youve given me

How are the other drums in the set coming? Post some in-process pics!

You nknow, I moved the 20 I had, I think. If the guy will let me buy it back, I can probably get it to you, but it is a 6 lugger. I will let you know if I can get it back. I have a 9 ply, but it won't match sonically with those others.
