Where could I get a connector from a bass drum to two toms above that bass? If you could just find the link for me that be great!

i have to agree with the post above me. do your own research if you can't find that simple piece of equipment you didn't look hard enough,
go check out musicians friends and spend more then 30 seconds looking at the page before you ask another question.

Good answer from Javier, above. 1. Wing nuts. Any drum shop will carry these. 2. Tom mounts can be done all kinds of ways. It is only a matter of money. Your local drum shop should be able to advise you on this as well. Toms should be placed somewhat flat, which is what you are trying to do. 3. Javier is right again. Those 'spear' things are called 'spurs' (like what a cowboy wears on his boots). They hold the front of the bass drum up off the floor an inch or two. The spike is suppose to poke a bit into the carpet to prevent 'creep'. Take your whole kick pedal to the shop and have them explain the adjustments to you. There are several variables involved. If your local drum shop will not help you with that, walk out and never go back. (Buy the wing nuts AFTER they help you.) 4. Adjust the high hats (HH). Make sure the bottom cymbal is secure to the stand, finger tight. Make sure the rod moves freely and quietly. Use machine oil to lube if necessary. Pedal too. Adjust the top cymbal so that it rests on the bottom cymbal. Then press the rod down just a little bit (about ½ inch or so) with your hand or foot and tighten the clutch (wing nut on top of the cymbal) finger tight to hold it in place. That will give you a ½ inch gap. Rock and roll style. Try different gap sizes and see how they work. Do not be afraid to experiment. Also, you might be hitting the HH too hard. Note that the two HH cymbals will not fit exactly in line with each other; that is by design. If they lined up perfectly, they would 'suck' onto each other like suction cups. And that would, well, suck. >"I see alot of drum sets with 3 cymbals. Is that 2 crashes or 2 rides?" Normally, people have ONE ride and the rest are crashes or splashes (small crashes). No questions are stupid. Do not buy anything used until you know a lot more about drums, or bring a drummer friend with you. Good luck.

unfortunately telling someone else to find what you need may not be effiecient.
research for yourself,
ebay.com
craigslist.com
froogle.com
