It looks like it would take an army of drumtechs and roadies to set up and tear down at large venues. I am a Weekend Worrior Variety Mix drummer working with several Reggae, country, rock, jazz, Funk, Soul, Latin, Salsa Pop, 70s, 80s, 90s & today cover and original bands locally. I do 2 to 3 gigs a week with different music genra bands at different venues across town and the Texas area. No Roadies, No drum techs, nor 18 wheelers. I own a basic "H" front Gibraltar Rack hardware with the T legs and side extensions. My set is a "less is more" 5 piece configuration. I am in the process of upgrading to the "Stealth" in the next few weeks. A few reasons why I use a rack system. If the riser or stage is wood, conventional cymbal stands with tom mounts wobble and move way too much. I love strong, no movement, no falling cymbal stands, toms or cowbells, set up and forget, with great clean presentation with a small foot print. It takes a little more work to load/unload in my SUV night after night, but worth the extra effort. Thanks, Luis Hello,
