Gibraltar Rack Supports 200 lb. "Drum"

Gibraltar 's Brent Barnett, all 200 lbs, does pull ups on a Gibraltar rack tom mount to prove that using memory locks correctly will prevent your toms from slipping. Brent demo's how to use a combo of slip on and hinged memory locks to prevent any movement on the bar or the clamp. This is key tool that drummers use as the memory locks memorizes the position of the tubes providing faster stage set ups. They also provide stability to the rack.
Pretty much this ends the discussion on slippage... unless your toms are over 200 lbs!

what is that L rod hardware called, ive been looking for something like that for a road series rack i just purchased, and since my tama swingstar uses l rods, i would really appreciate the name or what hardware could be sued to mount them

[GibraltarDIY]

@Torombolo3k The L-rods used are the SC-DWLR, which have a 12.7mm knurled mounting post. We also have the SC-SLR, which has a 10.5mm knurled mounting post

Whats actually the sturdiest rack system?? Ive got my eye on the road series.. But if the Power racks are better can I expand it in the same way as the road series?

[GibraltarDIY]

@WilderTank The Road Series and Chrome Series racks are definitely the most sturdy and superior rack systems we offer. For the gigging, touring drummer, Road Series and Chrome Series can take the beating. Not only is it the most sturdy system, but it has a larger variety of clamps to choose from to help you customize your personal set up.

@GibraltarDIY Which ones would I need to mount my Tama tom's to my v-rack? I see I should use 10.5mm l-rods but I hear that the clam only works with 12.7mm and up?

0@MrZaynetw all you need is a pcx-200 clamp for what u need to infinate angle on and yur set you can put 1000 lbs on it and it wont move

[MrZaynetw]

@metalphreak08 that only gives you four angles. a circular bar allows infinite angles.

nice work guys

[metalphreak08]

i can mount anything i want on my pearl rack without it slipping square bar racks are better for that reason

[WilderTank]

@GibraltarDIY Alright!!! Thanks for the update!!

im a gibraltar fan. love the racks. absolutely a fan boy for life. i do have this to say thow, as much as you folks plug the memory locks, why arent there more included in the basic rack setups? i would think one memory lock, even the slide on ones, per clamp on the rack wouldnt be to much to ask. so if a basic rack comes with 2 t-leg clamps, 2 90 degree clamps, and 3 multi clamps, thats 7 memory locks. it cant be that much more to add them as standard equipment. just a thought.

how many clamps does the gibraltar starter rack with wings come with
