Here is my a video on the anatomy of the Gibraltar 9600 Series Cymbal Stand. As I dissects the stand I’ll talk about its features, including it’s durability against repetitive setting up and tearing down, it’s design that prevents self vibration noises while recording, and how it’s more flexible and versatile than most other stands because of it’s high-quality engineering.
The Kit
Download the parts list PDF for the Stealth E Kit
We set up a kit with 18×22 bass drum, 9×13 tom, and 16×16 floor tom and 5.5×14 snare drum. The Stealth VMS Vertical Mounting System along with a traditional cymbal stand equipped with a Hybrid Mounting pod gives this set up a clean look showing off the drum kit.
The Stealth VMS mounts the snare drum off a no leg mini T-leg and the mounted tom comes off the vertical rack post leaving a clean open space for the hi-hat stand. The mounted tom can also be positioned flat to match up to the snare drum if needed.
You can see a slight bend in the horizontal rack tube that connects the snare mount to the tom mount. This bend accommodates a double pedal connecting rod. In this set-up we are using a single bass drum pedal but this set up handles double pedals with no problem at low. The low rider bar fits under or above the double pedal connector bar.
The Stealth is also simple in the sense of easy set up, tear down, with not much to transport.
