Description
Overview
The Gibraltar Magnetic Level (SC-GMLVL) is an essential precision tool designed specifically for drummers and percussionists who utilize rack systems. Establishing a perfectly level frame is the most critical step in building a stable, rock-solid foundation for your gear. By ensuring that all connecting bars and clamps are aligned correctly, this tool significantly reduces setup time and prevents the instability that can occur with uneven rack configurations.
Key Details
- 3-Way Leveling: Features three distinct vials to measure horizontal, vertical, and 45-degree angles, providing total versatility for complex rack geometries.
- Magnetic Base: Equipped with a powerful magnetic strip that allows the level to adhere to metal rack bars, enabling hands-free measurement and more accurate adjustments.
- Stability Optimization: Specifically engineered to help builders ensure that the base of the rack is square, which is necessary for a secure and professional installation.
- Compact Design: Lightweight and portable, making it an easy addition to any hardware tool kit for touring or studio use.
Use Cases
This tool is ideal for the following scenarios:
- Initial Rack Assembly: Ensuring the main horizontal bars are perfectly level before tightening clamps to avoid a “leaning” kit.
- Vertical Support Alignment: Using the vertical vial to ensure uprights are perpendicular to the floor for maximum weight distribution.
- Angled Bracing: Utilizing the 45-degree vial to set precise angles for support bars and diagonal bracing.
- Touring Setups: Quickly verifying rack stability on uneven stage floors to prevent gear shifting during performance.
Installation
No installation is required for the tool itself. To use, simply place the magnetic strip against any steel rack bar or component. Adjust the rack’s height or position until the bubble is centered in the desired vial (horizontal, vertical, or 45-degree), then lock your clamps into place to secure the level position.
Compatibility
The Gibraltar Magnetic Level is compatible with all steel-based drum rack systems, including Gibraltar rack series and other industry-standard metal percussion racks. It is designed for use with any hardware involving connecting bars and clamps where structural leveling is required.
