@KRO222 Thanks. I may have to go to a machine shop with the parts and have it made. There are many stack stands on the market, but none the 16" that I need.

@KRO222 Ed Shaughnessy comes to mind also.

the inspiration to all metal kits around the world

@KRO222 i would like to see a vid someone is playing jazz double bass do you know one? =)
-
@spudsmagicvideos a lot of rock drumming techniques come from jazz because the advent of the drumset centered around jazz.... even the rimshot is a jazz technique.... double bass was used in jazz for when double strokes needed to be played on bass drum and also in soloing...

wow....who woulda thunk it. Here I am, a 15 year old boy, who loves jazz. I'm just glad that I didn't get drawn into liking Travis Barker. Louie Bellson was the greatest jazz drummer I've ever heard! Hey, BTW God, I'll trade you Lady Gaga and Justin Beiber for Louie back!

They are definitely the best example We could have ever had.

@charlessavarese That stand was sort of a homemade affair. It was the top part of an older stand with a skinny top rod (similar to a Ludwig 1400) holding the top cymbal and the china was held in place by a cowbell U clamp holding a washer and felt in place. I set these drums up and tore them down several times for Louie and that is the way that stand was rigged. You need a bottom section that will take a 5/8ths inch tube and then that holds the 3/8ths top rod that will fit through the cym. hole.

@spudsmagicvideos
Louie INVENTED the double bass drum set back in the 40's...so he I guess he earned the right to play it on whatever style of music he liked.

I'm not mad , just thought maybe you weren't aware of that fact. Lots of Jazz guys have used double bass drums...just not in the way that Lars and other guys do it nowadays.
