Description
Overview
The Gibraltar U-shaped Rack Bar is a modern reimagining of the traditional front rack, designed to provide a sleek, low-profile mounting solution for drummers. Specifically engineered to accommodate bass drums up to 24″, this U-shaped frame creates a visually stunning border around the kick drum while offering unlimited positioning and mounting flexibility. Whether you are upgrading a stock electronic rack or seeking a custom acoustic configuration, this system eliminates the need for multiple tripod stands, reducing floor clutter and streamlining your stage presence.
Key Details
- U-Shaped Design: Features a 1.5″ diameter bar that discretely hugs the bass drum, avoiding the bulky appearance of traditional cross-bar racks.
- Optimized Weight: By omitting two of the cross-connector clamps found in standard racks, this frame is lightweight and significantly easier to transport.
- High Capacity: Designed to easily mount two rack toms, two crash cymbals, and one ride cymbal.
- Modular Expansion: Fully compatible with other Gibraltar hardware, allowing players to customize their setup with additional drums and cymbals.
- Included Hardware: Comes supplied with one standard multi-clamp to begin your custom configuration.
Use Cases
- Electronic Kit Upgrades: An ideal replacement for players looking to move away from restrictive stock electronic racks for a more professional, customizable feel.
- Acoustic Customization: Perfect for acoustic drummers who want a “legless” look to clean up the stage and remove tripod interference from their footwork.
- Touring Setups: Because of its reduced component count and lightweight build, it is an excellent choice for gigging drummers who need a fast setup and teardown.
Installation
Installation is straightforward and designed for rapid deployment. The U-shaped bar is positioned to surround the bass drum, providing a stable foundation for mounting. Use the included multi-clamp to attach your first piece of hardware, and then integrate additional Gibraltar clamps and mounts to position your toms and cymbals exactly where you need them. The low-profile nature of the bar ensures it stays out of the way of the player while maintaining rigid support.
Compatibility
- Bass Drum Size: Compatible with bass drums up to 24″ in diameter.
- Hardware Ecosystem: Works seamlessly with other Gibraltar parts and specifically integrates with Stealth Series legless snare stand accessories.
