NAMM 2011 product preview: Gibraltar Turning Point Hardware

[GonzoDrummer27]

@GibraltarDIY Great! Thank you so much. Now it's time to sell all my stands to buy these :)

[GonzoDrummer27]

Question... I love the idea don't get me wrong, but I'm not seeing how I can tighten the cymbal. I like having my crashes loose, but my ride and chinas nice and tight.

[GibraltarDIY]

@GonzoDrummer27 Good question that wasn't addressed in this video. I've added a video here in the video response section. Basically, there is a spring mechanism that allows you to adjust the tightness to your liking.

If this doesn't catch on, I'll be really surprised. So simple, yet so genius.

[Ajaxxx15]

[clancedrumscovers]

@Ajaxxx15 and how?

[danieljordison0793]

@clancedrumscovers look for the 2000 series hardware

[clancedrumscovers]

@danieljordison0793 you still take the nut off, you fail

[danieljordison0793]

@Ajaxxx15 that's what i though haha besides pearl's better looking

[kristijan1985]

pretty sensless... is that so hard to mount cymbals on the old way? c'mon guys...

[Pablotheawesomeguy]

@kristijan1985 It's not hard, but losing a wing nut is a bitch.

[kristijan1985]

@Pablotheawesomeguy i thought about the whole procedure of putting cymbals on a stand... it's not that hard...

[Pablotheawesomeguy]

@kristijan1985 No, not at all. But you know how lazy people can be, don't you?

[Drumboy81]

My expensive heavy DW stands just got beat...damn I feel stupid now for carring those around.

That loud crack you all just heard was the sound of every other hardware manufacturer smacking themselves in the forehead.

[SY5TEMxOfxAxD0WN]

I think Billy Rymer from the Dillinger Escape Plan thought of using compression springs in cymbals over a year ago. Check it out search Billy Rymer - Dillinger Escape Plan Video Series - Part One and watch at 2:10
