An Overview of the Pearl Drum Rack

For drummers, space is always tight at gigs.

And it is usually the unusual shapes of the drum hardware, not the instruments themselves, that make it especially difficult to fit your drum set into the required space.

So rather than mounting every cymbal and drum to an individual drum stand or cymbal stand on the floor, wouldn't it be nice if you could have just one pair of hardware legs touching the ground?

That's where having a Pearl drum rack comes in handy. A drum set rack system allows you to consolidate all of your drum set hardware into one convenient setup, making it both easier and faster to set up your drum kit.

In my experiences with different drum hardware setups, i have found that drum racks (drum storage racks, drum rack setups) offer several benefits over traditional drum mount setups.

And while Pearl Drum Parts always tend to be ahead of the rest of the market in creativity and innovation, the Pearl Drum Rack is undoubtedly the most versatile drum rack system on the market right now.

Custom drum racks, such as the Icon Pearl drum racks are height-adjustable, available in different widths and shapes, and besides just reducing the surface area of your drum set, they will also help with drum placement, drum sound, and to reduce unnecessary drum stand clutter.

Finding an optimal location in which to mount a particular drum can be one of the most tedious and time-consuming parts of setting up a drum set.

Having your drums mounted in the right spot is very important, though, because it increases the drummer's comfort, and aides in one's ability to play drum fills and beats around the whole drum set.

This becomes especially true for drummers who play with two bass drums, and i would certainly recommend a Pearl drum rack to solve this problem.

The Icon Drum Rack provides you with vertical, lateral, and longitudinal adjustments to ensure that every drum in your drum set can be mounted exactly where you need it.

In addition, drum rack hardware is very easy to setup, and consists mainly of horizontal and vertical bars, and drum rack clamps.

Not only is drum placement important, but the way a drum is mounted can also have a noticeable effect on the overall sound of a drum set.

Traditionally, tom-tom drums were manufactured with a hole drilled into their shell, into which was inserted a drum mount.

These mounts were then inserted at the other end into the kick drum, and clamped into place.

A Pearl drum rack will allow you to eliminate the holes in your kick drum and tom-tom shells, and thus hear the full resonance of those drums.

Used drum racks can be fine for the most part, too- as long as they aren't rusted-, but i would avoid most cheap drum racks as they tend to be wobbly, weak, and will likely cause you the same sorts of problems as traditional drum stands.

The Pearl Icon Drum Rack is designed to accommodate both drums and cymbals- So rather than having three legs per cymbal stand on the floor, you now only have two to four total for your entire drum set!

Therefore, the Icon Drum Rack not only makes it easier to fit all your gear on stage or in the corner of your basement, it also leaves a lot less for your fellow musicians and bandmates to trip over.

If you need to save space at your gigs, reduce clutter, and even improve on the sound of your drum kit, buy a Pearl drum rack today!
