i had the tama star-cast mounting on my drums and i thought they sounded good my kit has 8,10,12 rack toms then i bought the gibralter mounts since the starcast is so bulky my kit now sound 1.5 million times better they sound like the finished product after EQ,Compression, and mixing so i cant wait to hear them after all that now buy these they are inexpensive, well made, and will take any kit to the next level

When I first got my tama swingstar drums I noticed they didn't have the starcast system on them I was so disapointed will a few years later I noticed these and picked 2 up. They install fast if you don't have any issues getting your mounting bracket onto them. I had to make a quick trip to lowes to get some spacers. But that was 20 cents. Amazing product and really lets your toms sing! If your using a snare stand or basket stand for your rack toms order these and you will hear what you have been missing!

These are great. If you are looking for a mounting system, this is it. The are cheap and very durable. The universal mounting plate makes it so you can use your drums old mounts. These are great. I have one for my 10 inch, and I plan on buying them for my other drums. Drums that are 16 and above are too heavy for these... other than that, they are a GREAT buy.

This simple device added to your toms can change your sound completely. Even poor quality drums are greatly improved when suspended by their rims. Buy enough for all of your suspended drums.
