Even the Premier mounts that came after these are hard to get exactly where you want them. Ball joints were a huge improvement for all companies.Not sure what you and JDA are finding fault with on the earlier tom mount. I'm new to Premier as well, just picked up this early 70s 303 kit with the 8x12 and 8x1 View attachment 567325 4 pancake toms. Love my mounts as they allow close proximity and low heighth. I guess I did have to experiment a bit for optimal placement, but they seem rock solid to me.
Such a cool kit with the extra depth FT and tuna can!
I think those are a later generation than the style I had experience with. Those look more robust than the earlier ones. I'm not familiar with every permutation as the holders evolved through the years.Not sure what you and JDA are finding fault with on the earlier tom mount.

Dibs on the 20/12/14 kit !!!Welcome to the club!
Here is my 1972 3-ply Mahogany set 22/16/13 with the matching snare. solid black with shiniest chrome ever!
The drums are all international sizes, and they are LIGHT! My 22x14 bass drum is lighter than any 18x14 I have lifted so far.
I have the matching 14”x14” floor tom (hard to find) but I am thinking of selling the 20/14/12 3-ply mahogany set (same finish). That kit has the older style mounts. It’s from the late 60’s!
