I have two sets, One is a vintage Ludwig Super Classic (22-16-13) I picked up last year and the other is a Craviotto (20-14-12) I've had for a while. The Ludwig has the typical bass drum cymbal mount. I didn't think I would, but I've grown to really like it.
I have a questionable back and am always looking to cut down on hardware to reduce weight.
Although I'd like to reduce the need for a heavy cymbal stand to hold the tom, with Andy's advice, I decided NOT to drill the Craviotto bass drum for a tom mount. He said I'd kill the resale value of the set. I have to agree with that point, as that's a pretty big modification. I am interested, though, in putting a cymbal mount on it. It's the same as the ones installed on their floor toms.
Do you think I'd be killing resale value by doing this? Bad idea? All input is appreciated.
