ICON RACK TIP!

[MusicMan]

Hi -

For the last couple of years, I've been trying to find a way to use the ICON rack clamps to effeciently mount percussion items that use the 3/8" mounting post.

Well, the solution that I finally discovered is to use the little 4" length pieces of 7/8" cymbal stand tubing that are included with the Pearl JG-16 Jungle Gig adapters to insert into the pipe clamps.

The little 7/8" piece of pipe thus enables the PPS-37 percussion clamp and the CH-70 cymbal boom to be connected directly to the rack (via the rack clamp) rather than a cymbal stand!

I've also found these little 4" tubes to be an efficient way to extend the reach of AX-20, AX-25, AX-25L, and AX-38 tom tom clamps because the little tubes can be used to link the AX- clamps together!

also there is a adaptor called 75X thats specifically designed for the icon rack...check it out.

Of course, the 75X is also an option, but the 4" pipe enables more versatile holders (like the PS-37) to be used with the rack.

Unfortunately, the 75X does not have any lateral or depth adjustability. Hence, it can only mount percussion to the immediate rack space itself. Sometimes I need to be able to maneuver the percussion items a greater distance or radius from the rack clamp.
