Gibraltar Percussion Rack

Comments:

This is a well-built rack. The clamp holds it securely to just about any stand, and it has plenty of places to mount lots of different percussion devices. My idea in purchasing a percussion rack with lots and lots of places to mount accessories was to mount everything I had all at once and not have to mess around with mounting and unmounting all of the time in my recording studio. The drawback I discovered after using it for just a few minutes is that you can't mount just anything on it. Because the vibrations created by playing one attached instrument travel to the others, you can't mount something like a tambourine and expect not to hear it when you hit your woodblock (or anything else!). Even mounting both woodblocks and cowbells simultaneously was a no-go for recording purposes. The cowbells audibly vibrated sympathetically when the woodblocks were played. So, I've solved this by being selective about what I mount together, and I got a separate mount for those moments when I have to have two items mounted that would otherwise be incompatible on the same rack. It does call into question the usefulness of being able to mount 10 different accessories simultaneously, however. I'd recommend this stand to anyone, but be aware of this potential problem.

This stand does everything advertised: attaches easily to any stand and acts as a sturdy base for my tambourine, cowbell ans vibraslap with plentiful of room for expansion. Definitely worth the money!
