First, excellent VOX drums!

Next, drumfx, if I'm not mistaken, I believe that JR recently added a Ludwig bracket, so he could use a cymbal arm. Took a little flak, but I feel it's a good addition and as long as it's drilled carefully, I see no issues in doing so.

Thanks for the compliments. FYI for your Trixon kit johnnyringo I found that Gibralter currently makes a cymbal arm that fits into the Trixon mount, that's what I'm using. It's the thinner, cheaper model arm. I had to file off some of the knurled sections down flush with the diameter of the un-knurled part so I could set it in lower, the un-knurled part is the exact diameter you need, but otherwise it's a perfect fit.

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.
