I have a 14' too, its annoying when you attach your ride to the stand where the tom is mounted. I mounted my 10 and 12 to a stand and moved it a bit to the left to make space for my ride. works for me and makes your kit look cooler too
My set has the 14" as a mounted tom and no floor tom, which I'm finding out now that it's limiting where I put this ride. The only stand I have that will allow it to be on the angle I want is a straight stand. How much would it cost and what exactly would be done to convert it from a mounted tom to a floor tom?
Thanks

Hey 32 , you got room for a boom stand for the cymbal?
gibralter makes a cradle. not sure how much tho. i use a 14 mounted with my small kit. almost set up like yours except i mount the 14" and the ride on the boom, and the right crash on the straight stand. here is the best shot i have of it. it
it works for me. i can get it pretty much anywhere i can get a floor tom.

Nice looking set up Funky, and I still love that natural look! Oh, and the drums don't look too bad either. LOL

No holes to drill and you can always revert to the original configuration when you want
That's way too much money, though. You need to look through eBay. I found a cradle for my 16" floor tom for about $25.00.
Just search for: floor, tom, cradle

Thanks for your help guys. I've taken Funky's idea into consideration seeing as I have one boom right next to my straight stand that I'm using for my ride. And Andreew has a good idea too, but I don't think I'd become too familiar with moving around to get to my set, I like everything nice and laid out.

Another way is to buy a dedicated tom stand and continue hang it just not on a cymbal stand. I use a DW9000 dedicated tom stand and hang two toms a 14" and a 16" from it, it is solid as a rock.
