This beautiful Gretsch USA burnt orange drum kit is owned by Paul, who works at Gretsch Drums. He originally used a Gibraltar Stealth Vertical Mounting System with a GSSMS side mounting for his gigging set up.
Then Paul realized he could customize it! Paul decided to kick his Stealth VMS up a few notches to better match his drum kit.

(note: these are not available from Gibraltar, Paul made them)

The vertical pipes were left chrome to match other chrome hardware on the kit. Notice cool clean VMS set up with no tripod bases on the snare stand to get in the way. The horizontal wooden pipe runs under the double bass pedal connector nice and clean. The Gibraltar no leg hi hat is mounted to the Stealth VMS with a SC-EA-100 extension arm. There’s more!
