This is an incredibly cool looking kit! Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but did you reverse the tom mount, or is that how it was designed for this configuration? I've never seen that before.

I tend to think there is no stupid questions when it come to drums.

In this case it was me that put it reversed because I liked the positioning with the long tom arm but in reality there is soooo many ways to mount on this kit I actually put it this way by mistake. But it was comfortable to me so it stayed. It would be easy enough to switch but I like to give you OCD guys something to talk about. LOL .

It never ceases to amaze me how great eyes OCD drummers have.

The small arm offset it too much for my liking on the lower side collet and Romulus is correct I think the snare could be mounted on the lower mount if you have that config.

I have seen snares with the collets on them and hang off bass drum.

The ride mount is where I have it now and I put a splash on the middle front also when I am feeling funky. Walking

My 1961 Rogers set that I ordered from Foster's Music in Hammond, Indiana was configured for my matching Holiday snare drum to be mounted on the collet nearest the batter side hoop. You can almost see the snare drum in this picture from 1962. You can definitely see the two Swivo mounts on the drummer's left side of the bass drum.

Cool picture

Love the amps on the chairs.

Brings back memories.

I noticed this as well! Rogers did it this way with early Swivo arms. In this instance, it may just be the way he wants them...or may not be aware that it is backwards, since it functions equally well in both directions! However, my OCD is begging to have it turned around! LoLoLoLo-Mark

Haha! Glad I'm not the only one!

Sizes of those drums?

The drums measure 14x20 bass drum, 16x16 floor tom, 8x12 mounted tom, 5x14 snare. I usually kept a medium weight A Zildjian ride cymbal on the Swivomatic cymbal holder.

The reason I asked is the hanging one looks larger than an 8x12, but that was the more common arrangement. Just curious if it had been a 13.

I still have and still use the Mackintosh cloth drum bags that I bought for this set. The tom was definitely an 8 x 12.

I'm not sure if I ever posted this one. 6/12" early 4 digit, 3 ply goodness. I've been meaning to take the lugs off for reinforcement. Maybe this winter.

Hi Dave!

That's a real beauty...and a rare drum! Love the "fruitwood stain" interior!
