I am waiting on delivery of a Circa. 1950's WFL 22 x 14 Bass Drum.

It is essentially a virgin drum with an old unidentified tom or cymbal mount facing vertically on the right hand side and no bass drum spurs except for a primitive fitting which appears from the pictures to be only on one side, other than that the drum appears to be in very good condition, not much fade on the WMP wrap, the hardware is in good shape and the hoops and inlay appear to be good.

Now to the point my dilemma is that I been thinking of putting 1960's Ludwig folding spurs on (I was thinking of hoop mounted spurs but I am concerned about the stress on the hoop). I was also thinking of putting on a 1960's rail mount or worse still a 1970's tubular double tom holder. The question is: to drill or not to drill or to pull out the trusty snare drum stand for the hanging tom.

Any comments?

cheers,
