I would give up all of my stands for a decent rack.

+Greg Fawcett Don't have a drum tech. Now picture having to lug, assemble and disassemble the whole thing yourself. It's less a matter of money and more a matter of practicality, which is also why 99% of non-rockstar musicians use small kits with only a few cymbals..

+Crimson Sunrise I find myself taking just as much time setting up as other drummers using stands, sometimes faster. It's all thanks to memory locks you don't have to keep adjusting once you put it on its in the right place 100% of the time

Greg Fawcett For a rack like the one you see in the video? That would take at least 2 hours to set up.

I was thinking the same thing about meinl's....I thought he was all sabian.

DW and Meinl have been bribing their way into fashionability for the last 10 years.

Hi Anders, Thanks for the comment! I know it's difficult for most drummers to do this type of a build because they don't have the same access to gear like I have. My point in doing a video like this is to give players ideas on different ways to use our products. I don't expect that most players will attempt something this large, because it's way over the top for the average gigging drummer. Plus, I enjoy getting to see how things like this are done, and like to pass it on to all our viewers as well.

+GibraltarDIY I understand the purpose. However, for a guy (me) who grew up watching Wild Mick Browns (Dokken) and Scott Rockenfields (Queensryche) massive builds, It's kinda dull and boring that my chanxes of having a cool "cage" is somewhat limited. I play doublebass but I don't want, for instance, Gibraltar's doublebass racksystem. It's, imo, boring and ugly. If you dream of a cool build, like the one for Glen, you don't want a curved bar with three legs. It's just not working. At least not for me. Almost all rack manufacturers use the marketing-"trick" that only one's imagination sets the boundaries. In real life though, it's several other aspects: money, avaliability, knowledge from the dealers, no of items in stock etc.

There should be a digital "Rack-builder" on th Gibraltar websyte

F**k! I spell like an old fart

That is a sick idea! Someone get on this!

The tape they used is way cheaper than building a riser, 8 ft is 8 ft whether its a riser or a square marked out with tape

A small fortune lol

Hi Michael, We weren't able to do one for April due to some unexpected circumstances. The next one will be the last Tuesday of this month.

GibraltarDIY so can u do a double up on the kit this month plzz

111connorg a lot

That's probably between 3 and 6 grand. Probably 9-11 grand in drums and probably 3-4 in cymbals.

@@TempoDrift1480 - Yeah, not an 16 grand kit....c'mon man. It's not made of gold and fucking diamonds. 1 to 2 for the rack, 3 for the drums and 1 to 2 for the cymbals and maybe 1 for the hardware

Wizzle no way the cymbals are 3-4 grand. They’re Sabians - $2,500 tops. The most expensive cymbal there is the ride and it’s about $400.00. The DW drums with all those pieces I would say it’s close 9 grand IF they’re the collectors edition. The hardware is probably about $2000.00.

+Senor Gamer Not anymore; he made the switch to DW. Excellent decision IMO

+Ian Dubson why is it excellent ??DW has acted like Walmart in their business practices. DW make decent drumsets, but when you try to crush other companies that are smaller then you, because you feel threatened. That's just wrong

+Sean Raden are you high? DW makes amazing kits. They own Gibraltar. This is all DW.

+Sean Raden Wasn't that why Peter Erskine left for Tama?

What's wrong with wanting to be the best at the game?
