In this post, Brent Barnett, Artist Relations Specialist at Gibraltar Hardware, shows us how he put together Joey Bumpus’ (drummer for Lady Gaga) drum rack.
Joey wanted to have everything curved. T legs were used, but pivoted slightly to accommodate the curve. Four vertical curved poles were mounted along the center bar for the cymbals, giving it an upside down spider-like effect.
Curved bars make it difficult to keep other curved bars level. Brent solves this problem by checking the mounts with a level. The SC-GRSRA right angle clamps to connect the legs to the side extensions along with the SC-GPRML memory locks connecting to the outer legs. The SC-GPR30C curved 30-inch tube was added as a rear leg but about 5 inches were cut off with a saw. SC-RMAA and SC-RBA were added to the end of the cut tube to make it look clean and for mounting a boom, cymbals, or other 7/8 inch tube hardware. The SC-GRSARA angled clamp was used as the foot clamp to accommodate the curve being parallels to the foot, allowing the angle of the leg to be adjusted. A 30-inch curved bar was used to hold the no leg snare stand. The SC-GRSMC was used to connect the SC-EA100 to main rack to the no leg hi hat stand. GEMS mount is attached to the rack at the player’s right for a Roland SPD-S.
