Custom Drum Hardware Blog

A perfect Gibraltar Hardware drum rack addition for yourself or a friend this holiday season is our no-leg hi-hat and boom stands.
If you own a one-of-a-kind Gibraltar rack system, the 6607NL heavy weight no-leg hi-hat stand and the 6609NL medium weight no leg boom stand just makes sense. Why buy a traditional tri-pod base boom or hi-hat stand when, as a rack owner, you no longer need those extra legs? Gibraltar’s chrome SC-GCRMC or the SC-GCSMC clamps make the task of attaching both of these no leg stands to your rack system a breeze. And if your rack is already overfull with gear, investing in either our straight or curved rack stand wing extensions to support your new no leg hi-hat and boom stands will certainly do the trick.
The no leg boom stand features a three-tier height adjustment system (23-58 inches) and a cast hideaway boom. Its extra long height extension also gives drummers plenty of versatility in how low or high to set their rack bar extension adjustments.
The no leg hi-hat stand has similar attributes, giving drummers flexibility with our trademark hinged height adjustment, solid cast frame and step tension adjustment. It is everything you need in a hi-hat stand, but without the legs and extra weight being only 6.5 pounds.
Another reason our no leg stands make sense for drummers is the challenge of fitting three-legged varieties in between other drum gear. For example, if you play a double kick drum pedal, positioning the cymbals of a traditional two or three legged hi-hat stand to your stick sweet spot can be difficult, as can leaving enough room to move your left foot between your hi-hat and left kick pedal. The 6607NL heavy weight no-leg hi-hat stand solves that dilemma.
The same can be said for three legged boom stands. Finding enough floor area for boom stand legs without interfering with your drum rack base legs can be haphazard at best, especially at gigs where quick and efficient set-up is a must. Our 6609NL medium weight no leg boom stand eliminates that challenge.
One reason we designed our innovative rack systems was to reduce the leg clutter around your kit. These two new no leg stands bring our vision to another level.
Happy holidays.
