I converted my 16"x18" floor tom to a kick drum. I wanted the option of a small Champagne jazz kit and can use the 24" in other situations. It was actually pretty easy with the correct parts. I really did not want at this time to spend the money for hoops, T-rods, or claws, but chose instead to go the less expensive route that would work. I borrowed the folding spurs from another 60's era Bass drum, and I had a stainless steel riser from my Sonor Safari kit that I attached a LP small claw, and the claw fit the batter rim perfectly, and the height was fine too. I just put a felt strip on the clear ambassador batter side and two small strips on the coated ambassador reso side and it sounds fine. I had to use my 9"x13" Tom with the 14"x14" because I have two with my kit. I would actually be open to a trade for a 8"x12" for one of my 13's. I have been playing on it and kicking it pretty hard and it doesn't move. I can use the top leg mount for a splash cymbal so there are no unused mounts showing.
