How To Convert Floor Toms To Rack Toms | Brent's Hang

[@COOP3RDRUMM3R]

Hey Brent & team, Just wanted to say that although I don't personally use Gibraltar products I always watch the Brent's Hang videos. Brent and the video team do a fantastic job putting together entertaining and informative videos about your products & it's awesome to see a company that's really on point with their KZbin& social media content. Definitely one of the best advertisements and marketing approaches in the drum industry. Keep up the good work&cool videos guys! (of course you will!)

[@COOP3RDRUMM3R]

No problem at all. I'm blessed to work with companies who also have great teams behind their videos and KZbin channels, but in the world of drumming it seems a lot of companies are behind on the times and the ability to hone in and use the massive potential of KZbin and creative/entertaining videos. Just thought I had to say thanks for being one of the few really "hitting the nail on the head" with your content. Brent's got a great personality behind the camera and helps to make it fun.

[@GibraltarHardware]

Thanks for the support and the kind words. You really hit the nail on the head. We are trying to be informative in an entertaining fashion. And it's nice to know you think we are achieving that.

[@timporter6775]

So if you use the Universal suspension mount , to mount your rack toms (8,10,12) are you able to mount the drum at an angle or do you have to keep it mounted flat.

Hey Brian, A 16 x 16 Catalina Maple floor tom should be alright to convert to a rack tom. You can always flip the drum over and hang it by one of the leg brackets to test and see if it will be ok suspended, before purchasing the mount.

[@Hadrorex]

I made my own 8, 15, 18 and 20 inch hoops and used the factory mounting plate. Now all my drums are off the floor. I also built a set of aluminum hoops to suspend my 24 and 26 inch bass drums nicely supported front and back. No spurs needed. Polished and sandblasted to match Yamaha's texture. Even the mighty heavy first and second-generational mahogany Imperialstars to the lightest vintage Slingerlands and Ludwigs are held firmly. The only pieces on the floor are my bass pedals, cabled hi-hat pedals and a pedal for the cowbell. I've also got my snare drum and popcorn snare in a RIMS mount connected to the rack. Screw the basket. All my rack hardware is Yamaha's first-generation steel HexRack produced in Yamaha's motorcycle production lines. I also bought every first-generation spherical collar tom mount I could find. I have over a hundred of these. I also use Yamaha 800 and 900 series hardware in my photographic studio. I won't buy the cheap Chinese pot-metal junk Gibralter produces. Like DW, they're over-priced for what you get. Any additional tubing I use .10 inch walled stainless and run them through my tube bender. For stainless I use the multi-tooth latest generation Hex-clamps, perfect for round tubing and better than the Gibralter pot-metal junk. I then sandblast stainless to match the Yamaha texture. Perfect and tons cheaper. I own eleven different brands including Sonor, Premier, Gretch, and Yamahas (Maple Custom Absolutes my favorites and Recording Customs) and I can swap a different brand in minutes as all sets are the same size.

[@schof1212]

I know Pearl makes one but I have a DW PDP.kit. Would the Pearl making plate fit I wonder?

We do not currently offer a plug for a bass drum tom mount. I'll check with Brent about the Pearl.

[@schof1212]

GibraltarDIY Thanks mate.

[@GibraltarHardware]

You can turn your Pearl floor toms into rack toms, but you will need to use the rims suspension system with the L-arm bracket, unless you want to drill holes in your shell to mount the ‘Pearl style SC-670TB’ bracket.

[@UNLEASHEDROCK]

I have a question Brent. I have two bass drum mounted acoustic toms from a Yamaha acoustic kit. I also have a Roland TD20 expanded rack with the Roland electronic drums on it now. Is there a way to mount the two acoustic toms to the Roland rack? I want to use triggers on the acoustic toms & plug into the Roland brain. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Regards, Jeff 🤘🥁

[@DrummingTeenager]

Hay man tnx for the video, but do you have any tom holders that doesn't have a rim, like the ones on the new Gretsch Renowns or the DWs?

[@toebee1952]

Hi there, can I also use a SC-STL4 with the USS System? Do the screws fit into the holes? Because I prefer the chrome look to the black.

[@GibraltarHardware]

16 x 16 floor toms need to be looked at on a case by case basis. In general, a tom that deep is going to weigh more, and give you stability issues by hanging it. However, there are some brands who’s 16 x 16 shells are not heavy and would work with a suspension mount. I would not attempt this with a heavy shell, or you may be disappointed by the drum slipping.

[@q.ant_]

Hey gibraltar did you guys discontinue the SC-GTS Suspension System? I was looking for it the other day and didn’t find it.

[@cyrilhilterman4621]

I cannot find any info on the gibraltar website about a suspension system for a 16" tom even though it is mentioned here. Is one available?

[@GibraltarHardware]

It depends on the lug count of your floor tom. We offer a 14"/6 lug rims mount, as well as a 14"/8 lug rims mount.

[@GibraltarHardware]

Not a stupid question... yes, the mounting plate and rims mount come as one unit. Thanks for asking!

[@zacheryhull4692]

How would you suggest mounting an 18" floor tom to a GCS-450C rack? I'm not opposed to drilling holes in my birch drums as long as they can maintain resonance and power.

[@NLWilmar]

It comes without instructions. But it is very easy to assemble.

[@ImTheDrummer115]

I feel stupid for asking, but just to get things straight, the thing that the SC-STL3 clamps to and the suspension mount all come with the SC-GTS system, right?

[@JakeStaffin]

Hi Gibraltar!! For the Pearl style tom arms, the SC-700HA, do you offer versions with wing screws on either side, or just the one version with the screw stuck on one side? Is the screw direction reversible? Asking because I want create a tom stand for Pearl style drums using the 9713PM 3-mount platform stand and 2 of the SC-700HA tom arms to make a stand which ends up being cheaper than the Pearl stand and also has 3 mounting holes so I can add my Gibraltar boom cymbal arm.

[@GibraltarHardware]

Jake Staffin it’s just the one version. I don’t think it has the ability to reverse the bolt.

[@gb4477]

Great products but the memory locks for the tom brackets only fit the 10.5 mm l-rods. The good thing is you can change out the l-rod ball mounts on Gibraltar tom mounts.

[@PipeChoir]

I have a 16 Inch floor tom I want to mount on my drum rack...but the SC-GTS is discontinued...what would you recommend for me?

[@passionoflovers]

Question: If I wanted to mount my 14'' and 16'' floor toms to my rack, would it make sense to attach each drum to two tom rack mounts, or would that break the leg holders on the toms in time because of the weight?

[@Hadrorex]

I know a dude who reversed the playing side of his floor toms to make use of the leg lugs, heat re-shaped the textured portion of a sacrificial leg a-la cowbell holder rod to use two of the lugs. got them re-chromed. Looks factory! Perfect on a 14 or 16 inch tom. Make sure you have a backing plate inside of the shell so the lug holds better and won't start a crack. Those toms ain't moving.

[@ljdunsmore1]

depends mainly on the quality of hardware on your floor tom. it's an okay method but not preferred... you will lose some sound by attaching it directly to the rack without an isolation mount but that's going to happen to any drum you attach to the rack simply because the metal will absorb the sound and/or give is some unwanted overtones or rattle.. sometimes my toms are a little too open just because they have isolation mounts.. but it's easier to dampen a drum a little with an isolation mount and let them sing rather than choking them with all the metal on the rack

[@passionoflovers]

Thanks dudes!

[@BrokenCompassRecords]

do i need this, in order to attach my tom to a cymbal stand? or it will work just by using the Gibraltar SC-SLRM?

[@ljdunsmore1]

you will need some sort of L rod mount to attach to your cymbal stand. this device only attaches to the tom

[@nielswil]

Hey, here is a small question from Europe, what is the best way to connect roto toms to a drumrack and not using the original roto tom hardware.

[@GibraltarHardware]

Niels Willemse thanks for your question. We don’t have a particular item designed for this purpose, but we have seen others use the SC-EA100 to separate the roto toms from the original rail. You will need to clamp the EA100 to the threaded rod on the roto tom. I hope this helps.

[@nielswil]

I am using something like that and i am not happy with it. I thought you might have something in store like the Pearl ISS 1216 so it can be used with more toms than only the roto toms. Thanks for your answer.

[@GibraltarHardware]

For the GTS version the only one that will work w/a snare is the 14”/8 lug. This will only fit on 8 lug snares. If you have a 10 lug snare this will not work. For the USS version this will work w/a snare as long as it's at least 6” deep. The mounting plate for this suspension mount is 6” long. The rubber shell protector needs to be able to rest against the side of the shell. If your snare is not deep enough the shell protector will not rest against the shell & your snare will swing on the mount

[@Hateweek1984]

Hello sir,SC-GTS Suspension System seems to be discontinued, does Gibraltar have a floating mount that will support a 16" diameter floor tom? I have a Mapex Mars 5 pc w/14,16 floor toms and the floor tom legs are too "short" for the height I need, is there another option offered?

[@GibraltarHardware]

Sean Diaz thanks for he comment. Unfortunately we do not offer a suspension mount to work with a 16” tom.

[@TheodoreKloba]

Will the SC-USS work with a 6×10 side snare? I know the 10" diameter would work, but it looks like the shell protector may be positioned too low and will not make contact with the shell.

[@GibraltarHardware]

Hi Theodore, Unfortunately not. It will attach to the tension rods just fine, but it isn't deep enough for the rubber support grommet to rest on the shell

[@GibraltarHardware]

Sian Pii this is designed to industry standard specs. It should work with many different brands of brackets

[@No_Transitory]

What about the holes left if you use your own tom bracket? Obviously you wouldnt want to have the mounting holes just sitting there wide open... I'd assume it would make tuning difficult... any info on that? Edit: I swear maybe that would be the business to get in... I know they make metal plates for bass drums but it seems Tom's have to be done using woodfiller/dowels, or other materials from home depot. One would think that a large hole filler would of been developed for those who cant afford custom drums. So we buy cheaper ones and just upgrade them as best we can.

[@asherjames8570]

[@SPartanScapeable]

He says in the video that it can but I don't know dude, seems a little risky. I know that it goes around 4 lugs but I fear that it might put too much stress on those lugs seeing how a 14x16 has some pretty good weight to it. I'd just buy 1 and try it out though, worst that can happen is that it's not sturdy enough and you just return it for a refund.

[@GibraltarHardware]

Unfortunately we have discontinued the GTS mounting system. If you are able to find a dealer that still has inventory of this item, your snare will need to have either 5 or 6 lugs for this to work. There is the 10”/5 lug or the 10”/6 lug. The USS system is the only other tom suspension system we offer. This mount will not work with a drum that has a 2” depth because the mounting plate has a rubber shell protector at the bottom to prevent the shell from swinging. This particular mount requires a shell with at least a 6-7” depth.

I'd like to either: find memory clamps for these to set the height instead of tape, or if impossible, replace the legs and brackets and upgrade to thicker legs that can use memory clamps for height, (like the ones I'm used to using on my DW floor toms. I haven't measured the FT bracket distance between mounting screws so I can't provide that info yet, but hopefully Brent or someone: any ideas on this? Some people just used automotive hose clamps for floor tom marking; I'd rather have something a bit more 'pro' ;) THANKS!!!

Just stick some the felt things you put on furniture feet to prevent floor scratches. Stick it where the rubber meets the shell to prevent any road rash to your shell's finish. Easy solution.

at one point i wanted to mount my 16x16 floor tom as a suspended floor tom, but after i put it next to my 14" suspended floor tom, it sounds perfect where it is. to each their own for sure, but it was starting to look pretty hairy to mount that 16 to the rack. my 14 required 2 memory locks and a super multiclamp..the 16 would require an addition to my rack, somewhere along the lines of a gong drum mount..
