Holiday Tom Sizes
I actually have two questions, if I may. First - Did Rogers make a 10" Holiday tom during the early 1960's?
Question #2 - can anyone recommendation a good contemporary stand that would comfortably accommodate Swivomatic tom arms? I'm considering putting my hi-tom on its own stand instead of on the kick. Has anyone found a good fit, as it were?

Re: Holiday Tom Sizes
I needed to use something else to mount my toms besides the floor stand that came with my double bass kit. I had already been using two Tama heavy duty cymbal stands, the ones with counter weights at the end of the arms. I found a clamp made by DW that the swivomatic tom holder fits into one end and the other clamped onto the cymbal stand. Using these clamps I can set my kit up with single or double toms and they aren't mounted on the bass. They are very handy and gives me several options on how I set up my kit. If you'd like some pictures I can post them on Monday since I'm working this weekend.

I've never seen a 10", nor can I find one in catalogs or in the Rogers book. The first 10" tom I can find came out in 1973.
I've seen the shorter "L" swivo arm (the kind that came with the double tom mount) used with a 2-way clamp and a heavy cymbal stand.

On Jollity Drum Farm web site there is listed in the lone drums: 3 different Rogers 10x14 toms with the 9/72 badge, a couple of 10x14 '71 Koa Powertones and one 10x14 '70 Holiday.

This is the swivo arm I'm using with the clamp on my kit.

Re: Holiday Tom Sizes
I sure could be wrong, but I think he's asking about a 10" head not a 10" deep shell.
There seems to be confusion how to say/state a drums dimensions. I've always seen it shell depth first, head diameter next, so an 8 X 12 is a 12" head with a 8" deep shell.
So when you say a 10 X 14, I'm thinking 14" head with a 10" deep shell.
Drums were always listed in catalogs as 14X20 bass drum, 8X12 or 9X13 tom and a 14X14 or 16X16 floor tom. The first number was the shell depth, the second number was the head diameter.
What do you think?

Re: Holiday Tom Sizes
Hmm, interesting point. I just assumed he was talking about a 14" diameter head with a 10" deep shell.
I looked at the copy from the Rogers catalog of the kind of kit I have and the sizes are listed as you said, shell x diameter.

Re: Holiday Tom Sizes
Bruce - Thanks for chiming in. You nailed it -- I meant 10" diameter shell, not depth. My apologies to mainedrummer for not being clearer.
And thanks or the hardware suggestions. Since I'm going to use my kit for playing, I was thinking it would save some stress on the kick oif I mount the hi-tom on a separate stand. Ditto with the ride cymbal.
However - I would like to have a correct vintage tom arm to complete the set eventually. But my first priority is to get the kit set up for playing.

Re: Holiday Tom Sizes
Hey Bruce.
Yeah, you've got the line on how to read dimentions, I was in the Sheetmetal trade for 15+ years, and we always read them the way you've explained!
It's the top surface measurement first, then the depth. Hope this was of help?
