I discovered these mounts last year, too. I had been searching for a way to mount some rototoms to a rack for a while, and came across them on Reverb. I'm so glad someone finally came up with an alternative to the carriage bolts. They work great and are very solid. It makes mounting them so much...
I special ordered this from Ludwig around 9 - 10 years ago (I can't remember exactly, but I think it was 2011). I only ever used a few times for studio and home recording, so it's still in excellent condition. No issues whatsoever. Still has the factory Ludwig snare side head on it. $450/shipped...
