Help me complete my Rogers kit!
Needed:
12 swivo era bass drum tension rods and claws
2 swivo tom 90 degree hex collet plates
2 bass drum spurs only for 20" or 22"
2 18" bass drum hoops
1 12 x 8 holiday tom in silver glass glitter, beavertail lugs
Also some kind of Rogers snare in the range of $150 would be nice, chrome or silver glass, powertone or Tower, TLC needed ok.

What SIZE spurs? ( 20" or 22" bass drum ) And with or without mounts?
Also, what would you consider affordable regarding a Rogers snare drum?

Thanks, my initial post needs some clarification, so I've edited it. I am converting an 18" floor tom into a bass drum, and based on advice received at drumforum.org I will replace two of the four knobby mounts with 90 degree hex collet plates. I will then cut down two spurs so that they will hold the bass drum but will stop against the shell rather than have to drill new holes.
You could save yourself 50 bucks and make the spurs. 3/8 diameter hex rod is available in stainless.
DW has a sensational small bass drum riser which I use on a 16 x16 FT. It is infinitely adjustable. This basically allows you to take off the tom legs lay the drum on its side and you're in business. I went the extra distance of buying hoops, claws and longer t-rods only because I'm vain and the thing looked gorgeous with new wrapped hoops.
I'll send pics of the mini kit if anyone's curious.
