Thanks all for the advice.
I don't think that I'm ready to mount the tom on a stand just yet. I don't mind seeing the tom move a little. Got me wondering though, how do you keep the tom from tumbling off a tilted stand if it is not gripped tight enough to prevent choke?
Anyway, I am enjoying playing just the one. The new layout and simplicity suits my style of play. Plus I've uncovered great sound coming from the 14" since I changed all heads.
