Ludwig? It looks like one, need to see a picture of the tom mounting.

Tried tama clamps?

Have you considered clamp on arms to attach to your stands for smaller cymbals?

Check out this pic--it's my kit with a cymbal boom stand in the left side. Look at the stand, it has a clamp-on accessory bar that I've added a separate boom stand to for another crash, so there are 2 crashes on one stand:

Oh yeah that would be a good idea, I think I should get attachment arms for my stands, it would save alot of room... also by smaller cymbals what do you mean by that? 14'' and smaller? Thanks alot guys

Looks like you could easily add another cymbal stand right into the other tom mount hole there.

You can do that? Holy crap! What kind of stands fit in there? I haven't found one that can do that yet, on musiciansfriend or anything

Thanks

Also, I just put in my 13' tom in that hole... is there like a clamp i can use to put my tom on a stand, so it gives me another hole free? Also is there different sizes? Thanks again lol
