So I have this 1941 Ludwig & Ludwig kit that was thoroughly messed up before I bought it. Finish stripped, gold painted hardware etc. It was originally a Swing Session, based on the sizes.

I've done what I can to restore the snare and kick, and now am turning my attention to the toms. They were originally had tacked reso heads, but they had been removed before I got them. Reinstalling the tacked head seems like a questionable idea, but I'd like the option to use them with a reso head. And I will NOT be drilling any holes. Pics of one of the toms in question are here: https://imgur.com/a/4af4X

So my crazy idea is to replace the single-sided lugs with double-sided ones, and source some longer rods to tension both heads off the batter-side lug. Sort of like a Club Date kit but with the lugs off-center. That way I can always return the kit to stock, while having more usable/tunable toms.

Is this a bad idea? Has this been tried before? Thanks!
