I drive a pearl midtown kit and I absolutely love it. I posted in another thread about how I ordered a pearl chb830 bass drum mounted cymbal arm to add to my bass drum, I only use hats and a ride so I carry a boom stand for no reason and this mount will less my load. I'm already going to be pulling out the drill for my bass drum which got me thinking...
I hate suspension/isolation mounts! I always have. I prefer my mounts bolted right to the shell and I don't plan on ever selling this kit (wouldn't be worth much by the time I would of I ever did) so I'm thinking about ditching the stupid optiloc and bolting the mounting bracket from it right onto the shell. I know, I'll have to drill a 7/8" hole in addition to the three smaller bolt holes.
Is this dumb?
