Can you convert a mount Drum Tom into a Floor Tom?
I have a 14 and 16 mount toms and would like to convert them into floor toms..Is this at all possible? and if so..how would you do it properly?
Anwser if you know:)
you have several options here. i will give them to you in order of what i think is the best to worst
1. you go out and buy a double clamp hardwear piece. what this dose it clams onto a symbol stand. then it has to openings where your toms can fit it. it's like 40 bucks for a good one. they then can be situated over the floor where you want them.
(here's a pic)

2. you leave the holes where the toms hardware use to go and drill into the drum and install floor tom hardware found at a drum specialty store. this is not a recommended rout as it will cost you more money and there are more things that could go wrong. your drilling into the drum as well witch hurts the tone of your drums. your best bet is number 1.
i have 3 of those clamps for my 13 piece Drum Kit. they work great (i recommend the 'pearl' hardware. (it's aprrox $40)
