GIBRALTARBass Drum Zubehör Raiser SC-BDPM 1 Stück,Black

Not sure why a previous reviewer had a problem with this, it's made of heavy-duty steel and powder coated. Looks and feels like it will do the job and last a life time. I intend replacing the wing nuts with ordinary hex nuts and tightening with a spanner once I've settled on the right height for my set-up.UPDATED: Since using this product I have noticed it pushes the pedal off the drum some 2 inches. I've had to modify it, but then that brought the chain drive in contact with the drum hoop... bit of a compromise because if the pedal is offset by so much the beater doesn't make contact with the head flat, but I guess this is going to be a problem with any similar product also. As ever, life is full of compromises!!

Adjustability and build quality

Great replacement for the breakbeats kit.

I bought the Gibraltar Bass Drum Platform for a few reasons. It was the most simple design I'd seen, with possibly one exception; and partially because of this, I'm not obliged to pay for a heap of chromed metal parts I'll never use. There's another thing. I bought the Gibraltar because the marketing material didn't harp endlessly about enabling the player to strike the center of the bass drum batter head. That's the LAST thing you want. I know I'm comparing classical technique with rock, and that each style suggests different approaches to bass drum execution. Maybe so but I don't buy it. If you can obtain sustain you can always muffle and curb those long tones. I think that if some bass drums are not putting-out all the tone you were hoping for, and you'd experimented til you were blue in the face like me, then paying $20 for a Gibraltar riser, which takes five minutes to install and requires only a drum key, is a worthwhile investment. Again, my needs have nothing to do with where I strike the bass drum head. Strike it close to the center and you get one sound, closer to the edge and you get another sound, both usable. No, I wanted a simple device to lift the bass drum off the floor to 'free it up'. I felt that my birch bass drum, which had disappointed me for years, was harboring a fugitive. I knew there were overtones that I wanted to hear but they were hiding and needed a hand getting out! One last kick at the can. The operative word is "ground". I reckon my bass drum was being grounded just like an electrical current when it's sent back to the earth. My bass drum tone was going in the same direction. I was a little nervous that the Gibraltar riser might not cushion the assembly; maybe there wasn't enough rubber to separate the riser from the drum and from the ground. But I was pleased to receive the package from the courier. Bingo! Lots of rubber strips located at all relevant locations, including, especially, the ground plate and lip, to which you attach your bass drum pedal. I was hoping that my efforts to make the drum "float" would be rewarded. The simple test of this would be an audible increase in sustain. Sustain is a good thing. And for some reason it wasn't happening for my birch bass drum. Maybe it was a one-off problem. It took about ten or fifteen minutes to re-install a microphone I leave inside the drum, then affix the drum heads. For drum nerds, I ended up with one of my old opaque Evans EQ1 heads, still good thirty-years later! The front was a Remo Renaissance. Good heads for a good drum, and now, with the installation of the Gibraltar riser, it's good heads for a GREAT drum. The extra 30 - 40% sustain was all it took. And the whole thing came in at a price tag that's less than an overpriced pair of drumsticks. The Gibraltar is well-built from steel parts, or so it looks, coated where it needs to be with rubber. Even set at the lowest point, with the kick closest to the ground, there's enough space, air cushion...whatever ....to free-up the birch 20" bass drum. I recommend this device highly. Get that 18" or 20" up off the ground and allow it to vibrate. Then join a forum and debate the merits of getting the beater to hit closer to center of the bass drum head. That'll blow some time for you. I just hope you get a price close to what I spent: around $20. Tbw

La base queda perfectamente, la.utilizo para un bombo de 18 solo que si hay apretarla bien si no se mueve el.pedal

Lo compre para levantar el bombo de una Tama Club Jam, encaja sin problema y es super sencillo de colocar

Non è sicuramente la più economica, ma questo attrezzino assolve molto bene il compito che gli è stato assegnato. Regolabile a piacimento, risolve praticamente tutte le esigenze di chi decida di adattare un tom da 16" per usarlo come cassa.

LOOK!!! If it's a Gibraltar, it's NOT junk!!! They don't even understand the word!!!Not a slab of plastic like others, or the superior but VERY expensive DW lift. Always ask "what are you using it for? Home? Local gigs?" If your a studio or touring pro, by all means go DW. For the rest of us mere domesticated players who "need a little pick-me-up," Get the Gibraltar.Simple and sturdy, won't mess up your bass drum hoop. I am using it on a 20" DW set with a DW 7000 single pedal (for now). Yamaha has a very impressive sonic graph denoting how you get more lower-end response using an "elevator" or "lift." The new second generation Yamaha Recording series uses one in their promo with Steve Gadd. The other payback is your BD won't get all scuffed sitting on the floor.INSTALLATION TIP: Remove the mounted toms if you have them, put a solid foam block or woodblock wrapped in a towel under the drum, balance and level it (or angle back a bit), adjust your legs and securely mount the lift. You will need a torx wrench/bit. Remove the blocks. You will have to repostion your toms as they are now one to two inches higher.CONSIDER: With my DW 7000, the pedal's lower mounting bracket NOW sits back from the outside the hoop and is not perpendicular, or to the right angle, of the head, which is OK...else the chain would skuff the hoop. A couple of Allen wrench tweaks and the action I feel is even IMPROVED!
