The revolutionary Ludwig Atlas mount replaces an existing tension casing allowing you to turn it into a tom mount, cymbal holder, floor tom leg holder, or anything you can imagine. By having one less metal bracket on your drum, you can show off more of the finish. Replace one of your bass drum lugs and you can easily attach a cymbal arm. Put three on your floor to attach the legs. You can almost eliminate the need for cymbal stands by using the LAPAM1 Atlas mounts.
