Art Cruz Lamb of God Gibraltar Rack Build

[@michelerodriguez4522]

I met Art at a party about a year or so ago in El Monte through a mutual friend. Art was super down to earth and kick ass. Best wishes to you and long live Lamb of god!!!

[@thunderfeetx9280]

I can’t wait to hear the new Lamb of God album.

[@michaelr.4878]

I hope Cruz doesn't use that awful bass drum sample he was using when he first started playing live dates with the band. The sample was awful and the volume was way too high. 'click, click, click-click, click , click'. It was like someone beating a plastic bucket with a spoon. ..kind of like the song playing around the 6:00 minute mark of this video, for example. hahha. What an absolutely awful bass drum sound. Why would anyone choose that?

[@geddyleesowlnose]

@@michaelr.4878 Vinnie Paul had the same problem.

[@azimjenkali]

No wonder the studio looks so familiar! Didnt notice Grohl's potrait..

[@WrathUponEden]

Awesome! Great drummer. Amazing band. Huge influence on us!

[@thenecropolis_ov_former_lo3396]

I'm excited. I'm getting a Gibraltar rack hehe. So many of my favorite drummers use Gibraltar

[@omerta316]

I've been a fan of Lamb of God since MTV promoted the Australia tour in 2007

[@totigerus]

great to see Gibraltar making yt vids again

[@waynevantonder252]

Studio 606, that's awesome.

[@joshvillarreal6207]

I got Arts drumstick at the Metal Tour of the Year. He's so fast and intense. He beat the living crap out of that stick bro!!!

[@ThrushCZX]

Hey Brent - you know, you could use the SC-GCEX to join those two halves of the curved bar. Lock it down, then release one bolt to slide the other half out. It'd look less conspicuous and also mean you won't have one loose clamp floating around while out on tour!

[@GibraltarHardware]

Matt Cowan thanks for the comment! You are right! However, he needed something a little faster than the GCEX when breaking down. He wanted to split the drum kit in half quickly. Once you place the GCEX on a tube, it’s sometimes difficult to remove.

[@ArtGuitarLTX]

Killer setup and dude! Aside from the “off sounding” background music… this was an awesome vid!

[@melarieschuh176]

That is a beautiful drum set

If you’re not familiar with Art Cruz go listen to Prong’s Zero Days. You’re welcome.

[@Kvic2112]

Brent...what are the chances of a rack/product line in black powder coat? I had my Gibraltar rack done a couple of years ago, and I'd love to be able to buy add-ons and NOT pay through the nose for powder coating...it's a sharp look, and gets a ton of compliments! Very cool setup, by the way...love your videos!

[@prof.toffano]

Just perfect!

[@scotturban54]

Looks dope. Great Drummer.

[@elaineswanson8578]

[@St_Mindless]

Love how similar his kit is to Chris's. And helps he's a Meinl artist, keeps that LoG sound

[@clmitchem]

Camo shorts for the win. #pantera

[@eyenfinityface-thecosmiclo2717]

Looks like the studio where MetallicA recorded the black album.

[@TinkMcGathy]

Not a fan of the hoop attachment for the hi hat. Did that with mine and every time I kicked it the hi hat would make noise. So I just mounted the hi hat to the rack with a grabber arm thing

[@eastbaymauiboy]

Nice Crush kit!. I've got a Crush Sublime Maple 6 piece myself baby. Gives me wood. Literally

[@odeskoo]

AWSOME

[@MrRaffy101]

I wish I could just go to Brett and build one all together instead of having to search for so many parts

Art is an absolute monster it's bad ass to hear guys with that much talent and love for music talk guy is so humble just like f**k yeah play drums 2019 metal fest this guy kills it

[@shanegriffin2215]

Did you notice it's almost a identical set up to Chris Adlers?

[@ImperialstarTama]

@K Dubya You mean if they decide to kick Adler after he had an accident. FTFY

[@christopherm.townsend4990]

@K Dubya Because Chris got to play in a REAL legendary band like MEGADETH and he learned a thing or two and outgrew the other guys...you're welcome.

[@Maddogbraun]

We need a new video of Arts new kit setup

[@GibraltarHardware]

Maddog Braun thanks for the comment! I’m sure we will have more opportunities with Art in the future. The set up we have in this video is pretty much identical to his tour set up

[@MRRU-uz7ej]

[@drummerdan95]

@K Dubya Yeah, a lot of us do. No disrespect to Art, but Chris is the OG.

[@tylerdees4850]

I don't know why Art is getting so much hate. Don't get me wrong I'm a huge Chris fan. And was very dissapointed to see him go and was a bit hesitant to listen to Arts drumming. And I thought he would have copied chris. But he didn't he definetly has some chris influence on him for sure and you can hear it. But I like Art brought his own style to lamb of god. Super super nice guy also.

[@jedvillones]

In his interview with Digital Tour Bus, Art showed a Pearl Icon Rack that he said his mom bough in Guitar Center. Now he said that his first rack is Gibraltar.

[@tuievans]

It’s an endorsement thing. When artists sign with companies they have to say their first thing was this sometimes.

how long are the vertical bars?

They cut the center pipe (that connects right and left rack) for purpose of easy break down and transport. Instead of cutting pipe and adding extra hardware to re-connect them, why not just use solid piece, and simply release one clamp to move? That made no sense to me.
