Mike/Dan!Might I chime in here? Regarding the Rogers OEM single rack tom mount position:Certainly valid points Dan/Mike!, but... after around 1975 I had all contemporary setups too, and with the more modern approach to mounting rack toms, ie: more centrally located on the bass drum. Then, the vintage bug bit... and badly at that... not that I'm complainin' of course! Anyway, I wanted the complete experience of the "vintage vibe", so I play all my BR sets with the mounts as they were originally. I play match grip 85% of the time, with my point being: All I do is sit at a slight angle to the right.. and I mean very slight .. but just enough where the rack tom is still in perfect position, even with match grip. In the 3rd pic you can see the throne just over slightly to the right... just a taste. Dan is also correct in that after a bit, it becomes your norm, and there aren't any problems anyway! In my case, ALL my sets are BR models/configurations, and again, I wanted to leave everything as it was... for the total experience/vibe. As always, this is a completely subjective discussion!, and there is no right or wrong. I'm just sayin' you CAN keep everything at it was, and still be comfortable, if that's what you want! Here are a couple/few pics that show my set in the "as is" Buddy configuration.Tommyp
Tommy,
Makes me wish I didn't get rid of my Celebrity kit. Always more drums out there though. I think the next one I get will be WMP just like yours. Super classy drums and some of my favorite sizes.
