First thing , I am not using this product for a drum kit , I am using it to hold my "One Man Band " equipment .No I am not that guy with cymbals on my knees , base drum at my feet , bag pipes on my back , etc, what I do is run backing tracks so my set up is this- mic mounted on rack in center held by one of the clamps, music stand mounted to mic stand, tip jar mounted to center via clamp, on the right side is my mixer mounted via clamp, next to it is iPad mounted via clamp, next is the guitar stand mounted via clamp , on my left is accessory table with drink holder mounted via clamp, next to that is another guitar stand mounted via clamp. This rack comes with 4 clamps so I ordered 2 extra to have enough to mount everything and all the accessories I bought from amazon also. Everything is mounted in a way that when I fold this kit together it can be carried out without unmounting anything and set up at a gig is simply fold back out and everything's ready to go. This rack is made well but still light enough to carry and fold up nicely. No I am not using it for drums but in the way I am using it an 100% satisfied and the clamps are very good and strong .
