This ATLAS mount has been one of my best purchases ever for my drums! I will say, for me it's not that the wingnut is ugly . . . it's just too big (that what she said) for my liking . . . so I also switched it out for another wingnut I had laying around.
Dude apart from you good taste in drumming and very refined and accurate sense of humor, the music selection for your videos is AWESOME!!!! thanks for the good work!!! Keep it up!!!
love your videos rdavidr! I bought some atlas mounts a few months ago to put on a 12x9 and 14x10 Tom, because the Gibraltar rims suspension mount wouldn't let me place the drums close enough to each other. These toms are Rogers shells circa 1976 that are a normal amount of plus thick. After installing the mount, which was very easy, I put the toms on the l arm, and from the first test hit I immediately noticed that the toms sustain and low end were severely choked. The instructions for the atlas mount say that you shouldn't tighten the mount to the shell to tight, "it should be finger tight," so I tried doing that, but with the nylon nuts that come with it, you can't really finger tighten them at all, so I just tightened them down to where there was no more space between the washer and the nut. I tuned my Tom and mounted it in several different ways, but the toms still sounded very dead, so I had to go back to the rims mounts. Has anyone else had this problem? If there is a fix, I'd love to know
I just got a Ludwig Signet kit in Madagascar Ebony. It is so nice. It has the Atlas mounts and the "ugly" wing nuts. I like 'em just fine myself and atlas mounts themselves are great. My other kits use suspension mounts I don't have the ears to hear a big difference between the two. My first beginner kit had through the tom tube arms (Pearl style) and when I upgraded to a nicer kit with suspension mounts I did notice a big difference there though. I love the $20 kit. I see you using that one a lot. Not too pricey to get wrecked but sounds cool to me! And the seafoam green is rad!
I have a 13" tom with 5 lugs which is a pain to mount. Ether I mount it on a snare stand or a pearl style mount. I found the Gibraltar universal tom suspension system which works ok. I did have to modify it to reach the tension rods. This maybe the answer. Saw the mount in a NAMM video last year and thought it was pretty cool. Now I know I can buy the mount separate this could work really well. Without your video I probable would not know the mount came separate. Cheers man and your videos are great I really enjoy them keep it up :)
+Gethin Jones There is also a rail version for the bassdrum which uses 2 lugs. I got it for my kit. Its really handy and I didn't need to drill into the bassdrum. Really cool stuff by Ludwig. Its a bit expensive but worth the money.
I really like that wing nut, but I know, it's a matter of taste. I have plenty on my Ludwig signet kit. I like it because it's bigger and feel great on my big hands. Also I like the classic caddilac tipe look of It. Thanks for the great videos!
I actually like the Ludwig wing nut. But, that's just me. I have ATAS mount system stuff all over my kits, I have 7 of them, 4 are ones I built with Keller shells and 3 are Ludwig kits. One is an Epic and oddly enough, since that kit has the brushed tinted brass hardware, it's the only kit that the ATLAS stuff doesn't really match color wise. (Odd since it's Ludwig (Asian made). But this ATLAS stuff is so universal, it fits every thing you can think of without having to drill holes.
Hi! I recently purchased the Atlas Mounts floor my floor tom. Excellent product! They have replaced the ugly wing nuts with Gibralter type ones! Maybe they listened to you?!
Problem, no mention of tension rod size. What size is the thread? They should have just included a tension rod with it. Don't even know what the kit is in video.
Has it affected the sustain of your drum at all? I find that certain Tom mounts choke the drum a bit, since this mounts your drum directly from the shell, did you find a positive or negative influence in sound?
Ok, 3 years later, here's a reply. This Atlas mount system does not choke resonance. At all. I have several drum kits, two of which are Ludwig, and the other four are kits I built using Keller shells and various manufacturers of hardware. I also added the bass drum mounted consolette on all but one of the kits, that one has a 28" bass drum, so it was better for me height wise to slap the rack tom on a cymbal stand bracket next to the bass. Lots of flexibility there. And most importantly, it doesn't affect the sound of the drums at all, and there is no need to drill any holes, or use any big awkward hunks of chrome plated metal to set my stuff up. It's a home run for Ludwig. I have never really been😒 a fan of most of Ludwig's hardware. Till now. Rdavidr ( video poster) would HATE my drums. I have all Ludwig Atlas cymbal, hihat, snare, pedals.... every piece I am using right now is Ludwig, all Atlas Pro and or Classic (flat based) and the consolettes. They are all covered in those wing nuts... They're EVERYWHERE! I dig them.👍 There is one on one of my consolettes that I removed and replaced with a smaller, less protruding one since it was poking the reso head of the rack tom because of the way I have it set up. No problem. You would love this Atlas Mount stuff. It's very drum friendly as far as sound goes and not needing to butcher the shells. It's solid as granite and as a big bonus it looks awesome! Kind of a retro, late 60's early 70's look to it.
I have actually tried to use the atlas mount on 3 different rack toms and it fits none of them lol. I thought it would be much more of a universal piece of equipment but just is not for me lol.
Hi! I've been trying to solve a problem for a month now with common stuff I have at home but I can't, maybe you know how. I have a vibraslap and I don't know how to add it to my set, because it turns, no matters what I uso to pick the vibraslap it keep on rotating horizontaly.
+pedro16797 you can try a boom arm clamp, like what I use in this video. They make vibraslap mounts, so I would check out those designs if you havent already. ruclips.net/video/yD1nxDYDyIs/видео.html
I've just fallen out of love with my A.T.L.A.S. suspension mount. The rubber gaskets have dry-rotted in just a few years and they are not available separately. Grrrrr!!!!!!!!
Nice video +rdavidr How about testing the sound difference between the 3 mount types: 1: Snare Stand 2: Rim Mount 3: Shell mount ??? I haven't seen a video demonstrating this... Thanks!
Did you paint or stain the inner part of the shell? If so is there a link to a video where this was done? I’ve tried searching for information about this, as I like Yamaha’s live oak custom shells. They have some sort of black paint on the inner shell and it looks amazing..
+André John yes! you could totally do that, I saw a video where some one put it on their bass drum and mounted a cymbal arm off it. You can also use 3 of them to mount your floor tom legs
there's a company called Keller shells that sell blank uncut drum shells. you should make a drum set from scratch. see how cheep you can make them, and is it worth it
Two questions: What thread size as for the tension rod going in? Doesn’t that mount where a lug should be pull on the drum shell (and possibly causing the shell to warp)?
What a shame that here in Argentina to have those " amenities " you need a lot of money . David a hug I love your videos and encourage me a lot because I have to dig my not having much money and opportunities as others. Greetings from Argentina!
would this cause any ware to the drum? I feel after continuous using that the shell would become indented a little where the mount was, anyone know about this?
+Cam eron I got a 13"x09" Racktom mounted. Atlas Mounts are really great. No damage. If you wanna see them I got a couple of Videos up on my channel. You can see the Atlas Mount a bit in one video. But its not recommended for ride cymbals. I tried to mount my 24" ride on my bassdrum. Well it did work for some time but it got really wobbly. But for Racktoms and lighter cymbals they are pretty awesome.
Great informative video! I'll be thinking about getting this because I hate having a rack tom on my kick. - **can you do more videos on options of removing the rack tom from a kick drum mounted setup? **
Now build your own! I think these companies need to pay you some, cause I bought the big fat snare drum after your review and now I want this thing. I have a 15" Ludwig vintage tom and I've been having trouble with the mount because is too old" for the regular tom holders.
hey bud. what tom holder are you using for this on your cymbal stand? i am fixing to try using this set up on some old Slingerland power play concert toms.
+remurdereht Rim mounted mounts usually contort the head a bit since the weight of the drum pulls to the opposite side of the mount. Then mounts that are drilled into the shell usually loose resonance just because theres a chunk of steel mounted on the shell. Then of course snare stands just choke the crap out of the drum. But with this one you are using the lugs holes, so really you should gain resonance and sustain (which is what it says on the box lol). Sure the tom pulls to the opposite side of the mount because of gravity, but the way it is made it will not flex the head. Hope that made sense.. haha
Thanks for the info, man! Not sure I saw it in the video, but did you just keep the rack tom's built in mounting bracket attached to the tom? I think I saw that you removed it, but wanted to double check.
Is anyone using the Atlas mount as a bass drum cymbal mount? I am asking because I question if the two small mounting screws and the internal suspension function provide a secure and stable mount suitable for ride cymbal playing. I welcome your thoughts and comments.
Hey man, question!! I'm thinking about getting one of these for my 13" tom that came with no mounting hardware. A snare basket just saps the resonance Way too much, and I didn't want to go with the regular crescent mount because even that kinda holds it back. I do like the Tama mount you have, but how does the Atlas here hold up in terms of resonance against the star mount from Tama, and a typical crescent mount? Would really appreciate it, thanks man
I really like your videos man. I was just wondering if you could tell me what the advantages of playing table top toms? Because I can't really see the benefits.
+Max Lawrence, another benefit is being able to to hit rim shots on them. I saw Jimmy DeGrasso play years ago and he like doing that on tom fills. Plus, all the old jazz greats did it, so it's good enough for me!
This may have already been asked, but did you find you needed a bigger drum case with this mount? It looks like it would add a few inches to the shell diameter. Thanks in advance!
@@EvilSewnit Good because was considering buying a drum set with a mounted floor tom and When I remember this I wonder if could convert it using floor tom legs.
Really like your drum kit :) Would be cool if i had my own, i'm an OK drummer tho and i'm practicing almost every day :) And i know one day for sure i'll have my own kit! Thanks for the video!
+Jordan Blue yeah its definitely worth it. Before I had the Atlas Mount I always had to carry 2 snare stands because I didn't want to mount the racktom from my cymbal stand. Now I got the Atlas Rail Mount and one extra mount for my Racktom. Really saves time and space.
Glad to know I'm not the only person that hates ugly wing nuts. On my Tama stands they're all original Tama nuts but on my home kit its a mix'match of stands with all different wing nuts & it drives me mental.
I highly suggest avoiding this mount on more expensive drums. It places all of the weight of the drum on two very small, focused points. Over time this WILL start to deform the shell. Most of the weight will actually push into the lower of the two mounting holes and that's where damage will start. If you are using this on a kit (again I would suggest only on cheap kits) take the tom off of the arm and set it on the floor. The time spent hanging will do just as much damage if not more than the time spent playing. It will at least double the life of the shell.
+Chase Ferrante Sure the higher mounting position adds more counter weight, but not enough to wrap the shell. At least not enough to warp it any more than a regular shell mounted mount.
I wanted to leave it as a virgin shell. And like I said in the vid, I was going to get another starcast mount, but the Atlas mount was cheaper and thought it was cooler haha
I love the atlas styled wing nuts. So classy.
Bazinga.
I think the Atlas wing nut looks so cool, I bought 2 of the matching drum keys.
Agree
Totally. The wing nut only is worth his whole drum set.
Nice animations with the lug distance loooool

i just got a leg mount from an old floor tom, drilled two holes in my newer kits rack tom and it works great!
ludwig for life.
What's the piece of hardware on the cymbal stand that you are attaching the Atlas mount to?
Hi! I recently purchased the Atlas Mounts floor my floor tom. Excellent product! They have replaced the ugly wing nuts with Gibralter type ones! Maybe they listened to you?!
Have you ever thought about adding a Gibraltar rail mount to your kick drum? Could give the $20 kit a sweet vintage look.
If a tom is sitting properly on the three rubber mounts of a snare stand and not over tightened it will not choke the tom .
Problem, no mention of tension rod size. What size is the thread? They should have just included a tension rod with it. Don't even know what the kit is in video.
Men you rock! I'm from Spain and I love your videos!
Thanks dude!
I used them to replace two cymbal stands. The drums and cymbals sound great to me.
You should try something like a home made practice pad!
Could you theoretically turn this into an Xhat mount for a floor tom (or a splash, cowbell, tambourine, etc.)?
GeBoMCK Gaming oh my god it's my old account. Comment-inception?
Interesting idea
I LOVE THE ATLAS WING NUT!!! THERE IS ALSO A MATCHING DRUM KEY.
awesome solution for putting a cymbal mount on the bass drum without drilling holes.
Can I put this on my bass drum so I can attach the ride cymbal?

could this work on a snare drum?
did you notice better resonance or sound when you switched to the atlas mount?
What L-rod sizes (9.5, 10.5, 12.7 diameters) will this mount tightly secure---not all mounts secure all sizes? Thanks.
I am not sure tbh. I think they say that info on their website though.
up to 10.5 mm. I have the same mounts

wow that mount is very cool

How much is it for the mount?
Do you think you could use this on a bass drum to hold the spurs?
+James Balfour-Lynn Yes. I just watched another youtube vid where someone did just that.
Yes, Ludwig makes these adaptable with bass drum spurs. You can see them on some other RUclips videos showing all the adaptations of the Atlas mounts.
This may have already been asked, but did you find you needed a bigger drum case with this mount? It looks like it would add a few inches to the shell diameter. Thanks in advance!

Are you sure putting toms on snare stands kills the tone?
Come on man! The Ludwig wingnut in beautiful!
you should do some giveaways man for us less fortunate drummers
Nice video. Just one question: won't you need a bigger drum case due to the lug sticking out so much?
No, usually not. It still won't stick out as far as a R.I.M.S. type mount will.
Great video! never knew these existed till now and that wingnut definitely wasn't my style either.
That's what I'm talking about! Love it man!!! 👍

Actually that wing nut is fine but that ziff is nasty mate.
maybe make a video asking your subscriber's to show you their kits or creative ideas (kit/hardware wise). Then you can post the vids....
or drum room show off.... I like to see people's collection's and drum space.

I highly suggest avoiding this mount on more expensive drums. It places all of the weight of the drum on two very small, focused points. Over time this WILL start to deform the shell. Most of the weight will actually push into the lower of the two mounting holes and that's where damage will start. If you are using this on a kit (again I would suggest only on cheap kits) take the tom off of the arm and set it on the floor. The time spent hanging will do just as much damage if not more than the time spent playing. It will at least double the life of the shell.
+Chase Ferrante Sure the higher mounting position adds more counter weight, but not enough to wrap the shell. At least not enough to warp it any more than a regular shell mounted mount.
But why would you mount a 60€ mount on a cheap drumset?
I wanted to leave it as a virgin shell. And like I said in the vid, I was going to get another starcast mount, but the Atlas mount was cheaper and thought it was cooler haha
rdavidr Ah, ok.
