Bass Drum rack

Posted by Percguy on 5/9/2022, 5:27 pm

We are going to be doing the full percussion ensemble on the field thing this fall because of lower numbers in that section and young players. I have seen rack mounted bass drums in the past that allow one person to play the entire bass line like concert toms. In my shopping today, I only found the horizontal mounted ones, but I swear I remember seeing one that had a vertical style mount where the drums were in a square shape. Am I crazy or is there a product out there like that?

a set of racks out of PVC when we've done this in the past. You basically build a cube (we'll actually they're rectangles) for each drum, and the drum sits down in the cube at an angle. You can also build them so that they nest inside of each other so they don't take up too much space on the equipment truck.

If you can't find what you're looking for, I would call Anson at Stadium Creations in Houston. He is currently building me a custom rack with marching bass drum mounts.

I initially assumed getting something custom built would be super expensive, but it actually came out to be cheaper our comparable to any other rack I found.

That was probably from 2 Cool Percussion. We have one, it's okay. It was purchased before I got here and I was told that it didn't come with assembly instructions.

Horizonal will play like quads in fact when we used to use them we called them "the big Quads" much easier to play and logical to teach.
