Just an update; I finally tore into the old SK to do some rebuilding with mods. I have some ideas about what I want to do, but we'll see how it works out. I had a few hours this afternoon, so I...

Tried out the SK for the first time at practice today. It fits the thicker wood hoops on my Maxwin practice kick alot better. I put a couple thick felt strips against the edge of the hoop to space it...

Maybe...but it's only aesthetics. I think a double bass set up with lots of toms is alot to live up to! I think if you can play a kit like that, you deserve to have it look special!

Yes, you hit the nail on the head. I hate to say it, but I'm really thinking about just fabricating my own solid base plate, cut the forks off, bolt the "goal posts" of the SK to the new base plate...

Kind of....but not really, LOL. They were designed in 1938 and were waaay ahead of their time. John Bonham played a Speed King. Ludwig still makes them (about $120) basically unchanged in terms of...

I went to the local used store to look for a back-up kick pedal. I was looking for a DW or Cobra, but most of the pedals they had were double. Pushed back behind all the other pedals, I spotted the...
