Ludwig Tom Arm Update

Posts: 5240 Threads: 1231

I took one of our forum members advice and drilled a hole in the piece that holds the L-arm and used one of the existing holes in the clockface. I put a screw through the holes and used a nut on the opposite side to hold the arm in place. I had to maneuver the upright all the way to the end of the rail and tilt it slightly in towards me to get the proper angle, but it works great, no more slipping. I also put a foam piece in between the tom and snare to keep them from touching.

Glad my trick worked for you, johnny. No more worrying about slippage.

Looks good. You did a great job on the install. You can barely notice.

There used to be an accessory, made by Fibes I think, that was attached to the snare to prevent it from rubbing on the tom.

Thanks, it was fairly simple and it saved me some dough.

I planned on leaving the kit set up in the rehearsal room and just use it for band rehearsal and to practice on my own. We have a Christmas party this Saturday which I'll use the Rogers, but I'm thinking I may take the Ludwig to our NYE gig.

Johnny,

I've been meaning to ask: You post several photos from your "rehearsal space". Is it a self-storage type unit? It looks like it based on the corrugated steel back wall.

That's pretty cool. I have a climate controlled unit for drum storage. There is a specific mention in the contract I signed about "no musical instrument playing". They said I could tap around on the drums and cymbals no problem, just don't bring the whole band in LOL.

Ya, it's an indoor storage unit, they allow bands to rehearse in a certain area of the facility. I have access from 6am-10pm, seven days a week.
