Get Yourself a Punchy Little Kick
I got this conversion kit so I could set up my own custom 16" bass drum. NOTE: You NEED to have a Pearl ISS Tom Holder in combination with this. This is not a stand-alone product.
To be honest, I only have good things to say about this kit:
- No-Hassle attachment to the mount
- High-level build quality
- Sturdy as hell
- Legs (spurs) are as stable as the hardware on your drum AND they come with memory clamps to mark your preferred setup.
- Side note -
These are the products I used for my bass drum project:
- Millenium 16x16" Floor Tom
- Evans EMAD 16" Drum Head (make sure you choose correctly for wood or metal hoops depending on your preference!)
- Pearl JG-16 Jungle Set Adapter
- Pearl ISS - 1216 Tom Holder
Altogether a punchy little bass drum for only about 150 bucks. I am not endorsing/advertising any of the products listed, simply stating how I integrated this particular product into my setup. Hope this was helpful.

Great solution for small gigs.
If u don't want to spend big bucks on some 16 or 18 bass drum that u will probably use once or twice a year, this is the perfect solution for you. Easy, quick and sturdy, the materials will not let you down, and in my humble opinion, Pearl is the best hardware manufacturer, as i have "used and abused" nearly all brands of hardware, and Pearl is the most enduring and stronger brand, yet easy and quick to setup, in the market.

An excellent adapter
I wanted to create a mini-kit by converting my 14" tom into a small bass drum.
The JG-16 kit includes two legs that simply replaces two of the existing tom holder legs. They are solid, and have rubber feet. You can vary the angle of the legs sideways to achieve the desired height.
I also ordered the ISS-1216 mount because the tom holder on my kit is not compatible with the Pearl ones. The ISS solves that problem - the 1216 in the name indicates that it fit toms between 12" to 16". It simply clamps onto the tom rim by means of two retainer clips which are tightened with a normal drum key. Note that you only need the ISS mount if your tom doesn't use the Pearl mounting system.
Once in place, the JG-16 riser/bass pedal holder simply slots into the tom mount , and is tightened into place. Once that's done, you simply attach your bass pedal to it.
I tuned the tom very loose, at wrinkle point on the batter side, and barely finger tight on the resonant side. Much to my surprise I really like the result. It gives a nice defined attack, with a short boom. It works well with both the beater burried or off the head.
It was a very easy conversion, and will make it much easier to carry my gear around. It is also very easy to revert back to your normal tom at any time should you wish to do so. I used the third tom leg slot to add a short cymbal mount, negating the need for one extra stand, and ligthening the kit even further!
I am very pleased with the end result, it sounds and looks professional.

Buying this along with the Pearl ISS-1216 ISS Tom Holder System enables you to convert a 16" Floor Tom into a 16" bass drum! The parts are very sturdy and easy to assemble onto the drum. It took me a bit of time to make the necessary angle and height adjustments so the drum didn't wobble. But now my 16" bass drum is as sturdy as anything. The set is also compatible with any bass drum beater. Super investment if you are looking for an alternative to a larger bass drum!

I bought this Jungle Set Adapter so I could use my 14' floor tom as a BD for smaller gigs or when I couldn't transport my 20' BD for lack of space, and it just worked perfectly!
I'm very happy with it, easy to set up, adjustable, sturdy, and reliable.
I never had any issue with it, and I used it a lot, both in live situation and recording.
I would definitely recommend it.
