What does a rack system give over separate stands?

A drum rack is a modular tube frame to which toms, cymbals and percussion attach via clamps instead of many separate stands. Advantages: stability (everything on one structure), repeatable positions, space saving and fast setup, especially for large kits and stage. Downsides: higher cost and weight, less mobility for small setups. For compact kits separate stands are enough; for expanded kits a rack is more convenient. We offer racks and clamps from Pearl, Gibraltar. We'll advise what's best for your kit.

How to choose a compatible mount for my kit?

The key is compatibility by tube diameter and mount type. Makers use different diameter standards (for example 10.5 mm, 12.7 mm, 22.2 mm), so the holder or clamp must fit your stand or rack. The tom seat type (L-rod, ball, suspension) for your specific kit brand also matters. Universal clamps and adapters help join different brands. If unsure, send the make and model of the kit and what you want to attach, and we'll pick compatible hardware. We'll advise the standard and adapters for your system.

Mounting Systems with Discount

Q: What are drum mounting systems?

Mounting systems are the hardware that holds and connects the parts of a drum kit: holders for mounted toms, cymbal boom arms and holders, clamps and multi-clamps for attaching extra parts, rack systems (frames), isolation suspension mounts (RIMS) and setting locks (memory locks). They let you position toms, cymbals and percussion at a comfortable angle and height, expand the kit and quickly reproduce positions after teardown. Correct mounting affects ergonomics, sound (resonance) and reliability. We'll advise compatible mounts for your kit and brand.

Q: How does a tom holder differ from a cymbal boom?

A tom holder (L-rod or ball mount) attaches a mounted tom to the bass drum, a stand or a rack and gives tilt adjustment. A cymbal boom (arm) is an extended rod that holds the cymbal over the kit at the required height and angle, often with a counterweight for stability. Both differ by tube diameter and mount type. A tom holder is designed for the static load of a drum, a boom for the swing of a cymbal. We'll advise the right part for your configuration.

Q: What is a multi-clamp and why use it?

A multi-clamp is a universal clamp that attaches to a stand tube or rack frame and lets you add an extra part: another cymbal, tom, percussion, holder or accessory. It saves space and the number of stands, letting you expand the kit flexibly without separate legs for each part. They come straight, angled or with a double grip. Multi-clamps from Gibraltar, Pearl, Meinl fit standard tube diameters. This is the basis for expanding and compactly organising a kit. We'll advise clamps for your tubes and needs.

Q: What are suspension (RIMS) mounts and memory locks?

An isolation suspension mount (RIMS) attaches a tom by the rim through rubber isolators without touching the shell, so the drum resonates freely — this extends sustain and improves tone compared with shell mounting. A memory lock is a clamp ring on a tube that 'remembers' height and angle: after assembling the kit you instantly reproduce the same settings. Both improve sound, convenience and repeatability. We'll advise suspension mounts and memory locks for your kit. Send the model and we'll pick them.

Q: How much do mounting systems cost?

This is mostly an affordable accessory category: individual holders, clamps and memory locks are inexpensive, booms and suspension mounts a bit more, and full rack systems with a set of clamps the most expensive due to the structure. The price depends on brand, material (steel, casting) and mechanism complexity. It's often worth taking a clamp or holder together with a kit expansion. Check current prices and availability with a manager, as the range is updated. Tell us exactly what you need to attach and we'll suggest optimal options for the budget.

Q: Is there free delivery and instalments?

Yes. We deliver across Ukraine via Nova Poshta, free from UAH 4000; consultation and pickup are at our Kyiv showroom (Olzhycha St 15, Dorohozhychi metro). Instalments are available via PrivatBank and monobank — up to 12 payments. Small hardware is convenient to add to a main order. For institutions and ensembles we work with Prozorro tenders and bank transfer. We'll advise compatible mounts and a convenient payment and delivery option for your order. Tel. +380 (73) 060 01 01.

Drum mounting systems — keep everything in place

Mounting systems are the hardware that holds and connects the parts of a drum kit: tom holders, cymbal boom arms and holders, clamps and multi-clamps, rack systems, isolation suspension mounts (RIMS) and setting locks (memory locks). They let you position toms, cymbals and percussion at a comfortable angle, expand the kit and quickly reproduce positions after teardown. Correct mounting affects ergonomics, resonance and reliability. At SoundsGood you'll find Pearl, Tama, DW, Gibraltar, Mapex and other brands, official warranty and delivery across Ukraine. We'll advise compatible mounts for your kit.

🔍 What to look for when choosing

📐 Tube diameter & compatibility

Makers use different diameter standards (10.5; 12.7; 22.2 mm). The holder or clamp must fit your stand, rack or kit brand.

⚙️ Mechanism type

Ball tilter, gearless or geared tilt, memory lock for fixing. It affects angle precision and setting repeatability.

🛡️ Material & reliability

Steel and quality casting hold the load and don't creep from vibration. Important for heavy toms and active playing.

➕ Expandability

Clamps and a rack let you grow the kit without new legs. For large setups a rack is handier than a dozen separate stands.
