This rack was designed and built by REO Speedwagon drummer Bryan Hitt and his tech. After seeing all of the new chrome clamps on the Geosphere rack at NAMM 2010 Brian and his team came up with a new design for his tour.
Brent from Gibraltar Hardware talks about the drum rack he designed for drummer Derek Kerswil. If you’re a touring drummer here are some good tips on how you could put your rack together, and why you should use a rack instead of stands. Derek did not want a huge rack, but did want the benefits of having the drums and cymbals in the same place each time he setup his drum kit without having to make small incremental adjustments.
Jagger Gonzles, the drummer of the band Opus Dai we hooked up with a drum rack in our Extreme Hardware Makeover, has written to us form the road to to lets us know his rack is holding up great, and that he is getting great comments about the kit from the other bands, the crew, and the fans. He also sent us some great photos. Opus Dai is touring with Rishloo.

Tobin Wagstaff, a recipient of a new home thanks to Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (see photos of the home makeover on ABC site), has restored his 30-year-old drum set by polishing up the rusted hardware, and covering it with photos taken during the construction of the home. It is his way of thanking everyone involved in his home’s makeover. Tobin is using Gibraltar snare and cymbal stands, and a Gibraltar bass drum petal with his kit. Tobin has a music school, Studio Percussion, a charitable music school and one-of-a-kind drum shop in Gainsville, FL.
Tobin Wagstaff and his custom drum kit
Tobin says
The smallest tom-tom is dedicated to volunteers of the people: the everyday folks that helped us. The largest tom-tom is dedicated to the “stars” of the build. That is, the designers, the family, the builder, the leads, and crew. The bass drum is dedicated to the home itself. You will see pictures of the old house through its demo and construction of the new home. This is my way, as a drummer, of saying “thank you” to everyone who supported the build.
You can see a gallery of the kit here.
Note: This should not to be confused with Gibaltar’s Extreme Hardware Makeover. Gibaltar’s Extreme Hardware Makeover is a play off of the name of the TV show mentioned above, Extreme Makeover Home Edition.
