Basics on how to set up a drum rack: Gibraltar Hardware

Our drum rack expert Brent Barnett walks you through the basics on how to set up a front curved rack for your drum set up. This rack is the GRS400C road series. As you'll see keeping the vertical and curved horizontal bars level is the key. Once you have this in place you can begin to build and customize using the GRS150C side rack.

Yesterday I received a used Gibraltar curved rack I had won off ebay, I can't seem to get either legs to stand up very straight, they're crooked and unbalanced. Any suggestions?

@WhenxChristxReturnsx Be sure to check the level on the horizontal bar in all 3 positions. near each connection as well as in the center of the horizontal bar. Plus make sure your vertical legs are level as well.

Now show some drums and cymbals being attached! Every time I see one of these videos I get a little closer to buying a rack kit.

@AFatGypsyFanny @AFatGypsyFanny on the gibraltarhardware site there is an international dealer search link. Look there first to see if a dealer is near you. Many of our videos touch on how to set up curved rack, leveling as you know is the key. Checkout our "Building John Otto's" rack. At about the 3:30 mark Brent offers good advice on common problems w/curved racks. Hope this helps! We'll put a full "how to" on curve racks in our video pipeline.

I think I was more impressed with the magnetic level than the setup. Gotta get me one of those.
