Combined with bass drum spurs, this Gibraltar Floor Tom Pedal Riser lifts your floor tom into the path of your kick pedal's stroke. Includes clamp for stability.
I think Gibraltar makes good stuff, but they got this one wrong. The nut that receives the tension rod for the hoop clamp has something at the end that prevents you from tightening it down to any useful position. The plate the kick pedal attaches to is too long, so if you ever do get the thing clamped on, you will end up with a kick pedal beater that has to go way past the 90 degree mark to hit the drum. My pedal hits the hardware under the plate before it hits the head. DO NOT BUY THIS RISER.
Took it to a rehearsal using a 16" 1960 Ludwig with 1960 Ludwig bass spurs. Had to lower it from the top height so the drum didn't tilt away from it. 55 plus tax plus more money for new custom spurs is too over the top for me, So, I guess I'll settle for not hitting dead center, and will keep using my 1960 spurs. But the thing itself is small. Was assembled bass ackwards when I got it. It was like one of those night club intelligence test mechanical puzzles for a while, but I figured it out. It cracks me up that one of the richest drum companies in the world doesn't know how to write and include directions in their box. Or, that they misassembled mine. Whichever. It's working now, and I'll never have to think about it again because it's sturdy and fits in my auxiliary percussion bag. But, then again, it's rim claws are sharp, and it's probably a danger to my other instruments in the bag. It definitely won't get along with others in there. So, where do I carry it? Being a drummer, you know?
