That looks great!!! I really like how you made use of the floor tom leg brackets to become the BD spur mounts along with a cymbal mount and one to spare. The four legged floor tom worked out perfectly for this. Very cool indeed!

Super job! They look great! It's nice to see some orphans find themselves in a set. That was a great color choice too. A job well done!

Thanks everyone! It was a really fun project. The 4 legged floor tom does work out well for this sort of thing and is awesome that no new holes had to be drilled into the 18. I also got lucky with the W.F.L. spring loaded floor tom legs on the 14 because they have the same hole spacing as Slingerland Floor tom brackets. So if I ever want to put Slingy Floor Tom Legs on that lil guy it will be a straight swap. I was actually upset about the white rubber feet at first because that is all they had in the correct size at ACE Hardware but once I put em on I thought they looked awesome!
