I bought a couple of externals bass drum mufflers, a new one sold by stage, and a WFL that cleaned up very well. The weird thing is that tightened all the way, the pads don't reach the heads. I want to use the WFL on the 67 Ludwig DB kit. The hoop is 1 3/4. I haven't yet tried, but the Stagg would likely fit the '69 Slingerland kit... but I'd liketo usethe WFL on the Ludwig kit.

I can probably come up with some fix, involving... whatever. Thought I'd check the collective wisdom here first.

Also... even though not vintage, Ludwig is selling a "Supralite" snare in 15" sizes. Of COURSE I had to orer one! Thoughts, ideas...?
