Another pic

Drummers have ordered drum sets with two cymbal mounts, had dealers install second cymbal mounts, or added one themselves for as long as there have been drum sets. I don't understand what the big deal is about this drum set havng two cymbal mounts--especially if they both look like "factory-correct" equipment. Have I seen mid sixties Ludwig bass drums with two cymbal mounts? Who hasn't if they've paid close attention to the drum sets they've seen.

That would be a pretty common modification, either ordered that way initially or added later.

That's a pretty unique setup in that first picture with a cymbal arm holding up the tom and the other one laying against the bass shell to put the cymbal in a very odd place.

the documentation on a ordered drum set with options would be great provenance for collectable drums, otherwise just another altered drum.....

Wfl super classic buddy rich kit came with two factory.

That's exactly what I was thinking about.

Rogers constellation kits and the buddy kits also had two factory cymbal mounts.

My 51 Slingerland Radio King set has 2 factory cymbal mounts on the bass drum.

I guess I'm not overly worried if it's not factory correct, and yes the extra cymbal L rod used to mount the tom up high us pretty funny, although I've seen it done before.

Really I'm just excited to be rescuing these drums from the scrap heap.

Champagne sparkle wasnt my favorite, but all the old pearls and sparkles have their own certain kind of charm.

Can't wait to see what other cool old stuff is with them. I love attic and garage finds!
