The first thing that you notice about Kevin Hastings when you see him onstage with Rihanna is his amazing keyboard stand. If it resembles the hardware that holds up drum kits you’ve seen, you’re right. Although we are mainly known for drum hardware, we built this custom stand that lets Kevin tilt his Korg Triton keyboard forward, so he can play with straight wrists while standing up.
Kevin approached Gibraltar to create a hardware foundation for his keyboard set up that would fit his unique playing style and stage presence. We modified a Gibraltar curved drum rack with additional support bars mounted at an angle so the keyboard tilts toward to fit his playing style. It’s a rock solid foundation for the keyboard.
Here is Kevin performing “Don’t Stop The Music” with Rihanna on June 20th, 2008 on the Today Show at Rockefeller Plaza, NYC.

Update: Kevin will be on Dancing With the Stars on ABC on 5/19/09.
I have been trying to figure out where to buy one of these stands, guess he’s the only one who has one. I’d be interested in a smaller version that also has an additional laptop stand on it.
I really love Rihanna. She makes a music that is my kind of music. She is pretty and sexy too.

Rihanna is my idol because she is a great singer. She is also a very sexy woman and she somewhat have that exotic beauty that men loves.
