custom hardware accessories
« on: May 03, 2007, 01:14:08 PM »
got a problem mounting/attaching a new toy to your drumkit? want something not available in your local store or abroad? wanna have it CHEAP?

so much time in the office, i just thought id spend it more creatively so im designing hardware accessories to help me improve my drumming and make it easy bringing gear on gigs. now that i have a means to produce professional looking products, id like to share them with you guys...at a really low cost

the initial products that im coming out with are...

- drum riser / instant floor tom conversion to bass drum
- cowbell pedal attachment (gajate bracket type)
- mini snare drum adapter for use with regular stands, designed for 10" and 8" snares
- bongo tom arm
- folding drum rack frame - just buy the clamps at lazer/jb

my criteria for choosing a problem to solve is that the item must not be readily available and market price must not be below 1k. just means that i wont make clamps coz they only cost 500 bucks a pop in jb and lazer

i'll be receiving the prototype of my drum riser this saturday. pics to follow. just sooooo excited i had to post this in advance

racks will be standard 1.5" pipes made from brushed stainless steel. it will be curved for easier tom positioning

pwede powder coated, pwede chrome pero this will cost 3x estimate only

i will have the prototype for the rack by the end of the may and of course, pricing

ey peeves.. how are you?

nice idea you have here. I was just wondering if you offer custom made octobans with stand?
or if you make custom percusion holder. i have this 4 in diameter "bongo" i got which i want to incorporate in my set but i cant find a stand to hold it..

any ideas would be great!! thanks! :-D

sir peeves..i just want to share my design..marami na kong machine shops na napuntahan kaso walang natanggap kasi kelangan daw mass production..eh i only need 3sets for this item..



eto ung gibraltar item na kelangan ko...



picture generated in sketchup.. :-D
eto ung design na nagawa ko...kaso walang natanggap kasi kelangan daw mass production...


eto naman ung ibang items na nagawan ko ng design kaso nde ko alam kung nagana na...


SC-UGC Univeral Adj. Grabber Clamp 2 Hole


SC-PUGC Adjustable Angle Multi-Clamp 2 Hole


SC-4429 3 Hole Platform Mount

note..my dad said na mas maganda daw kung sa mga hard plastic fabrication daw ako magtanong..sabi nya mas magaan..masmatibay..masmadaling gawin ant mold..and less rust daw..samples of hard plastic materials nga pala, mga gulong ng skateboard.. this is partly true, skateboards are made from fiberglass and carbon fiber is more expensive than metal


thank you..just wana share..


ei bro thanks for the interest but as i stated above, i wont be making clamps. its so much cheaper to buy them at stores :-D

less than 500 lang yan sa lazer


eto naman 575 ata sa lazer



haaay yung riser ko mamaya pa lang idedeliver, na delay sa powder coating dahil mamaya pa lang daw sila magsasalang ng black. sana dumating na mamaya

eto na initial pics








di ko pa natimbang e pero mas magaan pa sya kesa 1.5liter na coke. it will fit 16" and 18" diameter toms from 10" to 16" long. havent tried to put a 14" on it yet but i think it will still fit

this may not be the model that i will be putting out. i really want to push thru with the folding design and i'll have 3 made for sale when additional funds come in

after 1 week of testing...im not satisfied with the design.

it improved the sound of my bass drum a lot but the design is wobbly. doesnt feel solid. i noticed a few mistakes and areas for improvement so im not going to sell this riser.

back to the drawing board and the rest of the projects will be on hold until i produce version 2

ei mga bros, galing ako ng versa kanina pero di pa daw ready yung rack pipes ko so eto na muna.

patikim lang



below 100 each hehehe. i bought 4 for my 2 sided rack. i got a basic drum rack frame for less than 3k hehehe. why buy a 16k rack from gibraltar when you can also get this done for much less? heck i wont even try to sell this to you

check out scaffworks at del monte ave. qc. they are near the corner of araneta ave if you want to buy the clamps. as for the pipes, any good metal shop can supply and weld you 1.5" diameter pipes. just tell the scaffworks guy to sell you fixed angle clamps. there is another version of the clamp that swivels, dont buy that.

i only ask one thing, show pics of your homemade rack should you decide to follow my lead  :-D
