I was thinking about buying another rocker tom to add to my kit. Mine has the mini classic lugs but on ebay I can only find toms with the standard lug. Will the holes line up if I want to switch them out with the mini classic lugs?

My recollection is that yes, you can switch them out. I had a Rocker kit and friends told me that I could do that. The Rockers lugs are pretty boring. Great sounding kit though..
thanks for the info! Here is a pic of my set....I am re-wrapping it with a turquoise sparkle wrap...will post pics when I get it done
According to a current ebay listing, the hole spacing for some standard tom lugs is 1-11/16".
eBay item number:161944307531
So the spacing is probably larger/wider apart than the mini lugs? Guess I could always drill new holes
There might be two different sizes of rocker tom lugs- I'm not sure.
I'd ask the seller of whatever drum you're considering to measure the hole spacing for you.
1-11/16" o/c lugs could be interchanged with large classic lugs.
Small classic lugs have a 1-1/4" hole spacing. Not sure if what you have are mini-classics or small classics.
That's a nice looking kit you have.

Nice. That was the identical wrap of my former kit. Decent. But I don;t think you'd hurt the value by doing a rewrap as Rockers aren't highly coveted, unfortunately. But very good drums nonetheless. Keep us updated on the project.
Definitely measure. I rewrapped a Rocker II kit in red sparkle, and have another one awaiting inspiration. If I recall, there are two sizes of Rocker lugs, at least on the first kit I did - the bass lugs are larger (wider hole spacing) than the tom lugs, probably corresponding to large and mini classic lugs.
