I have used Gibraltar racks for many years. Their products have consistently improved in design, reliability, ease of use, and durability. I wasn't a big fan of the hardware with my first Gibraltar rack, but the newer stuff is awesome. I recently added the "Super Spanner System" to my newer Road Series rack to accommodate the larger kit I'm using on the road now. Excellent quality, great looking, and most importantly for a working drummer, EASY to set up and take down, and everything sets up EXACTLY the same night after night.
