That would indeed be amazing. Unfortunately, I don't really have the money to splurge on a vintage Supraphonic snare or Avedis cymbals at the moment. The closest thing I have is a modern Supralite snare (not very close, I know). While perhaps not optimal, these cymbals do sound great on the kit...

Thank you so much for all your helpful advice; I genuinely appreciate it! I ended up filing down some longer screws so they fit perfectly. Finally have the whole kit set up as a five-piece; will replace the batter heads and fix up the snare drum and kick pedal next. Might post a picture here...

This is what puzzles me. The problem must be properly identified before a solution can be found, but I am not well versed in mechanics or woodworking. The chipped wood does create a *very* slight bulge in the shape, since this is the part of the drum where the layer ends, but it seems unlikely...

Please see my previous reply to jda. Any input?

The screws fasten into the mount as they should when the drum and washer are not in between them, so I would say it has to be a problem with the wood. In fact, here it is... The hole with damage around it on the outside is the one that neither screw will fasten through. I have even tried...

Sounds good. Thanks for your help! Everyone has been very informative. I will update you all when things are sorted out with the kit.

Yes, I absolutely have it positioned properly when trying to put things together. I can tell you confidently that it's not something quite so obvious.

Thank you for clarifying all of this. I will try using a longer bolt.

Yes, it is clear where everything is supposed to fit. If it were anything that obvious, I would have figured it out by now. The issue is that one of the screws won't fasten in properly. I have tried both screws and they both work in one hole but not the other. They both fit in the mount in both...

These particular SR2s are great! I may need to hold on to them. I also really like the matching Gibraltar stands they came with.

Of course I have plenty of drum keys (I am a professional drummer) and have tried to screw the mount back in already. The issue is that one of the screws won't grip or stay in properly. I think the wood around the hole in the shell might be stripped. There doesn't seem to be any problem with the...

I am in western Canada. Who knows? Maybe your kit did make its way all the way here. It does seem like a keeper but I do need the money somewhat desperately. 😭

😂

Thank you for this thorough answer! Yes, it is clear that these drums are not Rockers; perhaps the bottom heads were taken from a kit of that series? Or did Ludwig also make a series of Rockers heads independent of that kit series? Either way, the bottom heads are in good condition and do not...

Cool, everyone seems to be in agreement on that! 👍

Thanks!

Thank you, this helps narrow it down quite a bit!

Wow! It does seem to be a match. It's cool to know that I have the same series of drums played by these legends.

I also prefer plastic and have no desire to replace the handle. I was just pointing it out to narrow down the search because these types of kits seem to have metal handles more often.

I may replace the outdated Fiberskyn heads with modern ones to tidy it up. The floor tom seems to have a more recent one with no damage already. I will also fix up the Pearl snare drum but not expecting to make much off of it. I don't want to replace the plastic handles on the hardware with...
