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.
