Hey guys,
Well as you may have seen, I posted earlier in the week about possibly adding legs to my hanging floor toms. I have long wanted floor toms with legs, ever since the day I bought my kit. However when the offer came up and it became available to me, I wasn't going to pass it up simply because it had hanging floor toms. I have always disliked hanging ones though, as they have made the downsizing of a smaller gigging kit rather tough at times. I have always wanted to come up with a nice 4 piece, or 1 up 2 down setup for gigging, much like a Bonham or Chad Smith kit. But the hanging floors always irked me, and never gave me what I really wanted. Everything just looked goofy hanging on stands, and it was too much clutter. Well I've decided to purchase a cradle-like suspension system for the floor toms. I was looking at Gauger's Dynamount system, but they are a bit pricey and would end up costing me well over $300 for everything once all was said and done. However I was pointed towards another brand, Worldmax, by PDF member SoCalMike. He said he used them before and they were great, never had a problem with them. And they would cost only a third of what the Dynamounts would run me. So I believe I'm going to go with them. The thing is, I'm staying in California this summer until about the end of July, so I won't be able to purchase and install them until I get home. However in the meantime, just thought I'd post a mock up version of my kit as it will be once I get the mounts. This is pretty much the gigging kit I've always desired, whether its a 5 piece like this, or a 4 piece with one of the floors taken away. Still debating on adding the china or not since I'm not sure if I will have a stand for it.

The other two pictures are of Mike's floor tom with the Worldmax rim on it. I would probably also upgrade the legs to Pearl Air Suspension legs as well.
Check back with me in August
