Is there a way to mount the DM10 pads on a Pearl ICON rack?
« on: August 14, 2010, 12:32:01 AM »
I am looking for an adapter so that will allow me to use the Pearl ICON rack with my DM10 Studio kit. Anyone know of any adapters that would work for me? If anyone else has this type of setup I would like to see it as well.

Thanks!

Hmmm..
 
Square tubing and round tubing mixed?  I haven't seen an adaptor for that.  But then again, I haven't look for one.
 
Post some pics when you finally get it all put together.

Will do Guinness. With the additions I am going to make to the kit I don't think the Stealth Rack is going to do the trick. Plus I really like the look of the ICON. I plan to play out with this kit from time to time and I think it would be a bit more visually appealing. A side note: I plan to "fly" 2 of the pads on the double boom Pearl BC 2000 stands. I want to use them as China Cymbals.

Just go to smart trigger and purchase the china instead of using pads.  You've got money.  do it.  do it now!  :)
 
My plan is to get a splash and a china from smarttrigger soon.  Must have more cymbals.  :D

I was able to find a clamp that Pearl makes that allows me to mount the pads with a bit of room to position the pad where I want it. The downside is that each clamp is $30 USD. That will run me over $200 USD to get clamps for the whole kit.

Time to sell some of the clamps I already have I guess.

That would save me at least $199.00 wouldn't it? LOL

I forgot how expensive this hobby was.
