Terrible product, poor design I DO NOT RECOMMEND..
Buc 30.05.2023
As a professional musician touring around the world, I wanted to get that “almost” center beater sound from my 18 inch bass drum - which is why I actually bought the Gibraltar bass drum riser.

I mounted the riser and ensured that the screws that are fixing the clamps onto the hoop were screwed properly and tight. And now comes the part, where the issues due to the poor design came to the surface.

At first, the pedal spring reached its end due to the bad design of the pedal mount on the riser itself (the metal plate is too long), which causes the drummer to hit the pedal ALL the way in order to make the beater hit the drum head.
The second and most DISSPOINTING thing is that the whole product is sooo badly designed that the tiny screws underneath the clamps loosen after only 10 minutes of playing! Never the less, I did tighten them a couple of times using a Phillips screwdriver in order to save the shows.

And for the sole purpose of keeping the so called “bass drum riser” in a playable condition and try to make it work with my simple bop kit, I am now carrying a screwdriver wherever I go. And instead of playing, I’m wasting my time with this poorly designed product by Gibraltar.

Looks like I’ll sell it on eBay after all, and I surely will not recommend it to anyone.
