I like the pics but I like even more the kit!
Small question: how does the rail consolette work? Doesn't it show any problems with such a big tom? I asked myself that question even when I was looking at Bonzo's original kit.
Hi sacco,
I thought the same thing, but surprisingly, the rail consolette holds the big 14x10 tom nicely. It doesn't wobble when played and seems very sturdy. It doesn't really have the ability to place the tom wherever you want at any angle like most modern mounts can, but it works pretty well. The vertical mout slides back and forth on the "rail". It can get closer to the ride or further away. The angle of the tom can be set with a bolt that holds a tilting gear with teeth, kind of like a cymbal holder. You just put the angle where you want it and tighten the bolt. Thank you for the compliment on the kit. I really like it and try to play it out as much as I can.
