There are a couple options for you. First you can just use a standard multi clamp (SC-GRSMC) and place it close into the center bar. Then adjust the arm to position the splash cymbal where you want it. Second option if you have a standard boom rod (12.7mm cymbal boom rod) is to use the SC-GRSRAA ratchet clamp which is a little less $ than the multi clamp.

On the ride cymbal question, we are using a Ultra Adjust cymbal arm mounted off the side of the rack system horizontally. This is a long arm with gearless positioning so it works well off that side, you might also be able to use a long boom arm mounted the same way to get a similar position.

Sorry for the confusion on this set up, there is a lot going on in this set up. We did add three of the RMAA to the three vertical posts of the GRS-850DBL. The picture with the arrows is indicating that the piece attached via two drum key screws. So for this set up we did use a total of 3 SC-RMAA’s.

Hope this helps with your set up

so how many do you need. 1 , 2 , or 3?! (according to this setup)?

and is the SC-RMAA the same as (what guitar center calls) “Gibraltar Rack Tube Var Attachment Mount ” (http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gibraltar-Rack-Tube-Var-Attachment-Mount-490773-i1394993.gc)

thanks

Thank you,

The Stealth VMS (Vertical Mounting System) has a RMAA Rack Mount Accessory Attachment at the vertical tube that accepts 3/4″, 7/8″ and 1″ tubes using nylon adaptor inserts in the clamping mechanism. Works very well.

Thanks for checking us out. As to your question of how best to mount your 6″, 8″, and 10″ toms above the floor tom. There are a couple options that will work for this, you can decide which will work best based on the weight and how you need to mount the drums. The link below takes you to our web site showing a rack side extension. This can be added to the floor tom side of the double bass rack. If you have each tom mounted on an arm, you can simply mount each tom arm to the side extension with a multi clamp.

Another lighter option would be to use a rack wing extension. This is just like the side extension but smaller. Check out the link below for more information.

Please send in some pictures of your set up once you complete it. It will be great to show other people your idea to mount toms.

Thanks for supporting Gibraltar,

Ken
