just found this pic of one of mine in action. this one is on the ludwig galaxy clubdates..you might notice some moleskin pad that i have adhered to the mount. i also have one under the hoop to protect the finish.

Do I play with a hoop mount tom? Yes, on my '49 Leedy kit. Works just fine.

Do I or would I play vintage drums with a RIMS mount? Never.

To each their own...

Those old rim mount toms scare the schitt outa me...

nah...lots of people say that. just look at how long they used them though. some of the big band and swing drummers could really wail too!!

Where did you find that? My 40's bass was drilled for a W&A consolette at some point which I might try. But have been thinking about the original hoop mount instead.

Its actually a drum hoop saver for a kick pedal... The work great for that too.. All I ever use...

cool, good to know thanks!

here's another old guy who uses one--it holds up a 13 just fine, but it took a little while before I came to trust it.....marko

I entered "clipper" tom-tom mount on EbA and all I get are pictures from the LA Clippers basket ball team.Even a few from when they were in San Diego.Whats this EbA coming to? haha

Thanks for furthering the cause of us throwbacks to the way drums used to be, and functioned just fine.
