Yes I was an endorser and still informally support N&C.Chris..werent you an endorser?..couldnt you have called the CEO of N&C and said hey..----- Chris here..bad news..somebody stole my kit out of my van..gotta have a new one..thanks.
The mounting system doesn’t have to be installed under the top lug (middle of shell ) , it can be installed just like your atypical RIMS mount .Best sounding kit I ever owned was a Noble & Cooley. Would love to pick one up again some day when the timing is right.
This is nitpicky, but I'm holding out for when/if the mounting system changes. I just don't love that suspension mounts being located in the middle of the drum. I'm guessing there's an acoustic reason whey it may be superior to do it this way, but at this point in time I just can't get over the aesthetics of it.

I'd imagine, since they are 'made to order', you could have any type mount you want.Best sounding kit I ever owned was a Noble & Cooley. Would love to pick one up again some day when the timing is right.

Ahh. That's pretty solid...They are mounted in the middle of the drum because N&C have designed lugs that have a thread on the underside.
Essentially it means you can have your RIMS installed permanently and don't have to fuss with them every time you need to change a head.
Zero to do with sound, all practical.
It's a great feature IMO
The workforce is very small, maybe mainly Jay and Nick, certainly not 24 people.A toy drum manufacturer, now making some of the finest instruments available, by a father, son and couple dozen others. Very nice!
