How frustrating is it mounting your hi hat cymbals to your hi hats stands… especially when you’re being rushed? Or how many times has your bottom nut loosened up during playing?

Gibraltar Hardware has created a solution for drummers to make that a lot easier and way faster. At the NAMM 2012 show we Introduce the Quick Release Hi Hat Clutch. This is a hi hat clutch quick release, replacing any standard hi hat clutch on hi hat stands, giving drummers the fastest cymbal mount ever.

Gibraltar is the only single focused hardware company in the music industry. All we think about is hardware and how to make it better. From stock to custom we strive to give drummers nothing but options.

In this video we are starting with the basic rack structure for a two tiered keyboard set up and from there you can build custom keyboard stands to suit your style. With our hardware you can customize to fit any style or set up you’re looking for. The rack is very sturdy offering maximum stability while still being extremely light weight. It also makes those fast stage changes easier as it’s quick to set up and break down as it’s just three parts.
Plus there are many accessories you can use to add a laptop, a mic or another rack for additional keyboards.

With Gibraltar Hardware you can build custom and portable DJ racks to fit any set up. Here is the basic building block with a simple out of the box package from Gibraltar. From this starting point, if you can imagine it you can customize it and build your rack set up with style.

The drum set up photos include (in order) drummer Aquilles Preister from Brazil. The first Gibraltar rack created for the RCI Starfire Drum Kit 2009 and John Otto’s monster drum kit.

The music for the video is titled FTTKTBB and was created by LA based artist JLabs. This breakbeat track is 137 bpm and produced in Ableton Live.

JLabs has played several notable venues and festivals including: Vanguard, King King, PEX Summer Festival, Burning Man, Elysium Festival, Boogaloo Mountain Jam, Dialect Gallery at Lightning in A Bottle, Cinespace, Supperclub and Area 33.

Our Turning Point hardware features light weight aluminum based stands. It’s double braced just like our traditional 9606 brake tilter stands and just as solid but much lighter. The stand still has memory locks for fast set ups including a memory lock for the base to memorize leg height.
Included in the innovative design of the Turning Point is our Swing Nut technology. The Swing Nut offers drummers a faster set up and eliminates losing your nuts before, during or after the gig!

Gibraltar Hardware’s hardest working man in show business, Gibralto-man, tours the Ontario CA warehouse checking things out for Gibraltar. If you’ve seen the NAMM 2011 photo’s of him on our Facebook page you know Gibralto-man likes to party… and perhaps he’s a bit of the ladies man as well. He’s also a tough, but fair, supervisor and just likes to keep the beat going!

This is part 2 demonstrating Gibraltar’s new rolling frame for Drum Corps. In this video we show how to set up a 1st tier and 2nd tier rack and how you can customize the design to fit your needs.

Gibraltar’s modular rack design works perfectly for Drum Corps multi-instrument stations giving unlimited mounting options.

A nine-inch regulation locking caster is mounted directly to the rack, making the entire station mobile. Rack stations break down small for storage, and with all Gibraltar mounting accessory options, your set-up can change as needed.

Gibraltar’s modular rack design works perfectly for Drum Corps multi-instrument stations giving unlimited mounting options.

In part one of a two part series we show how to assemble the rolling frame. Part two demonstrates how to set up a 1st tier and 2nd tier rack and how you can customize the design to fit your needs.

A nine-inch regulation locking caster is mounted directly to the rack, making the entire station mobile. Rack stations break down small for storage, and with all Gibraltar mounting accessory options, your set-up can change as needed.

Build custom set-ups from Gibraltar’s vast selection of rack parts and mounts or use the Gibraltar Rolling Frame (GRF), GRF1T 1st tier and GRF2T 2nd tier pre-packaged racks.

Gibraltar’s Brent Barnett, all 200 lbs, performs pull ups on a Gibraltar rack and tom mount to prove that using memory locks correctly will prevent your toms from slipping. Brent demo’s how to use memory locks, in this case a combo of slip on and hinged, to prevent any movement on the bar or the clamp.
Pretty much this ends the discussion on slippage… unless your toms are over 200 lbs!
