Took Kurts advice and just purchased a rail mount for my 69 bass(26in). Can anyone give me the exact layout placement on the shell for the rail and the cymbal arm mount (assuming there is a standard).
Would really hate to drill wrong holes.
Thanks Guys

I'm posting a few photos of my Kent bass drum.The placement is pretty much the same as on my ludwig bass drum ( a 69' ) The pictures arn't exactly up close but at the very least you'll get the idea of where such items were placed.

Again I apologize for the rough image but again this should give a basic area idea of where the rail mount and cymbal holder were placed.And i'll try and get a close up of the holes so you can see that more clearly as well.

On my 14 X 22, the center of the railmount is 5" away from the batter-side bearing edge and positioned exactly between the top-left lug.

On my 12 X 18, the center of the railmount is 4" away from the batter-side bearing edge and positioned at "noon" in the space between the two top lugs.

I don't know if the positions change again on the 24" and 26" sizes.
