Simple job with the right parts, but I thought I'd show it in case someone finds it useful.
Ludwig and Yamaha have different size shafts for the mounts - 1" and 7/8" respectively.
The 1" will slide right over the 7/8", but it is free to spin around until secured.
So basically, just cut off a section, slide it over, secure it into position, drill through both sections, and pin them together.
I have a 10/12/14 tom Yamaha Tour custom, and a Ludwig 3 pc. bop, but I've always been partial to a 5 pc., and got tired of waiting for Yamaha
to come out with an 18" Tour bass drum.
I wanted the Ludwig set anyways, and with a couple of mounts, it provides a lot of options.
Some pics - kept them small, but it should be enough to get the idea: first - the different size mounts and a slideover section,
2 is just a screw and drill bit, 3 is drilled through both sections, 4 is assembled, and 5 is Yamaha toms on a Ludwig bass.
Click the pics for a slightly bigger size.
