It looks as if you are using the cymbal mount for the ride, with the second crash further to your right. Drummers in groups in the early sixties often only had a ride and a crash so your way was the standard configuration.
Then as a second crash became more common it took over that ride position and the ride moved round next to the floor tom. Since drummers wanted that second crash higher, to match the one on their left, the bass drum mount fell out of fashion. Possible explanation?
