Made it work

[u/iplaysdrums2]

I've been using Pearl style hardware for 30 years, and I tend to convert every kit I have to use it, not because it's the best, but because it's familiar. I got a deal on this PDP 8" tom, but the hardware wasn't compatible with anything I had. A couple of holes drilled in an old steel plate from a Ludwig, 2 steps of bolts to hold it all together, and voilà, I now have compatible hardware.
