Hey everybody,
So I bought a kit that will arrive with a 16x15 (deep) suspended floor tom. I was planning on having it drilled with authentic parts and using authentic floor tom legs, but am a little loathe to have the drum drilled.
Then it dawned on me that isolation mounts exist for floor toms! I can install legs and not drill the drum!
On my quest to find this part I came across this:
http://www.drumfactorydirect.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6_105_77&products_id=2266
Does anyone here have any experience with these floor tom mounts? Good experience? Bad experience? There are alot of threads on this subject, but most seem to want to hang a 16" or 18" tom for suspension. I want to go the other way and turn it into a proper floor tom. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully I won't have to drill this drum!
