That 2-way clamp with the cymbal arm and mounted tom coming off the same Swivo arm is a great example of the genius design of the Swivo hardware. Play them with all the pride that one can have in beautiful set of drums. is there a cymbal on top of that arm? Or, maybe some other hittable thing like a cow bell?

No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.

10" splash on the arm. On the telescoping cymbal arm I have an extension screwed on the tilter with a tilter on top... it works, but not as well as the extended tilter with tilter on top which I use that on my other two 60s sets.

Swivomatic was the ultimate. And I think most modern hardware in one fashion or another still copies.
