Short legs=older model. The leg length is about 23" since the 70's or so. Elite legs are only 21".
The Elite racket was a bit easier to deal with (on some newer drums), which is why I changed the Classics I had over when they came out. The Elite legs are a little fatter, and they had memory locks on them to when I initially changed them. Now a Classic has a memory lock option too, but back then, all I could use was a small hose clamp.
Sgt: If you do change them out, the hole size itself is fine, but the spacings don't match up.
Widen the TOP HOLE slightly. It's not much, a regular round file will work. The bracket screws washer covers the hole too, that's how little difference there is.
Do the TOP hole (towards the top of the drum, right side up), that way the bottom hole is in the same exact spot all the way around.
