| _________________________________ [Oct 3,2006 8:28pm - powerkok ""] possibly because the round bars cause slippage, causing the drums to sink from drumming.....but I dunno. Thats why I'd sell it, personally. |

Absolutely. I have no problem holding it for you if you actually plan on buying it. Why am I selling it? powerkok said:possibly because the round bars cause slippage, causing the drums to sink from drumming.....but I dunno. Thats why I'd sell it, personally. Honestly, Powerkok's hit the nail on the head there, it's true. This rack is great for drum kits where the floor toms are actuall floor toms, not rack-mounted toms. I bought a new kit with 14" & 16" rack mounted floor toms, and that on top of the 137 cymbals I mount on the thing made it impossible to keep from slipping and breaking the memory locks. If you mount a couple drums and cymbals it's usually no big deal, but this... [img] is way too much for that kind of rack to hold up. My buddy had his kit on it for months, 2 toms and a couple of floor toms, and a couple of cymbals on the corner posts, and just one on the side, and he said there was never any slippage or anything, so it does still work well. Let me know if you're still interested and we'll set something up. -Chris |

| _________________________________________________ [Oct 4,2006 11:00am - theaccurseddrummer nli ""] KeithMutiny said:woah. Yeah, who's got a nice rack? I'll be honest, I think it's quite ridiculous actually. Half the time, I can't decide whether to keep adding shit because I like having so many different sound options handy, or just strip everything off and play a 4 piece kit with hi-hats, ONE crash, a ride and a couple of effects cymbals, just going back to basics. Almost every time I set this shit up, I stop and think "Man, this is fucking silly looking..." but then realize that I actually use all that bullshit at some point. Torn between simplicity and variety. Fuck. How the hell did I go from this... [img] To this... [img] I'm an idiot who loves to spend money on gear, that's how. In any case, the rack's still up for grabs dude, if you want it, drop me an email... theaccurseddrummer@gmail.com :doublehorns: |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 5,2006 10:26pm - secthammer ""] i am still interested in it, and w/ my new job i'm making a couple hundred a week, but my computer just crapped out and i really need to get a new one, so depending on how much i can save up will determine wether i get it or not by the end of october |

| _____________________________________________ [Nov 21,2006 10:43pm - theaccurseddrummer ""] Someone buy this thing, please. It's sitting in my front hall collecting dust and pissing my wife off. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 21,2006 11:08pm - Dissector ""] Would it be able to hold 3 mounted toms 10,12,13 inch? |
| _____________________________________________ [Nov 21,2006 11:10pm - theaccurseddrummer ""] Dissector said:Would it be able to hold 3 mounted toms 10,12,13 inch? Yes sir it would. It's got 5 clamps that can be set wherever you want. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 21,2006 11:13pm - Dissector ""] I may be interested then, I need a new/easeir way to hold and transport my set but I'm supser low on cash. So probably not... |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 22,2006 6:29am - anonymous ""] Nice kit! What kind of sounds do you get from the sawblade? |
| ____________________________________________________ [Nov 22,2006 11:16am - theaccurseddrummer tltli ""] anonymous said:Nice kit! What kind of sounds do you get from the sawblade? The saw blade actually makes a sound similar to a small bell, or maybe the bell of a ride cymbal, only not as resonant. It's a really sharp & tight sound. Plus, a bell costs what, $60-70? That was $2.75 at Home Depot. As soon as I can afford another rack clamp to replace the drum mounted cymbal clamps I've got now, I'll be adding another saw blade and a steel artillery shell. Still trying to figure a way to move everything closer together, more compact. |

My biggest problem was when I mounted two floor toms and half a dozen cymbals all on one side of the rack, the weight would break the memory locks. It never messed up the structural integrity of the rack itself, but the bar would constantly roll forward because it was too heavy. Otherwise, the thing worked great for me. Dissector said:Has anyone taken this yet? Nope, nothing yet. A few bites here and there, but nobody committed to buying it. |
