Snare clamp

[rentadrummer]

Does Roland manufacture its own mounting hardware, and if not, is it one of the standard drum companies that makes it for them? Also, is there any reason not to mount the snare pad on the rack instead of on a stand and is there a special clamp to do this? I've read the other threads about the best snare stands to use but there isn't as much discussion about not using one at all.

Doesn't your roland snare have the 'adaptor" that will let you hood it onto an L arm? I had a PD120, I could have rack mounted it if I had wanted...but I never would have wanted to..

I haven't received the set yet. I'm just trying to anticpate the extras I will need and wonder why the snare can't be rack mounted instead of using a separate stand.

It IS rack mounted, see ...

Sorry, should have been more specific. I'm talking about the V-session set which shows the snare mounted on a stand, not the rack. All of the other sets that I've seen in the stores have the snare on a stand as well.

For better isolation from false triggering, crosstalk and such, a separate snare stand is ideal.

Are you sure? I do not hear any V-Custom-r's complainin' around here. Perhaps you've been reading too much propaganda from snare stand munufacturers or users that are just no freekin good at adjusting their modules.

I doubt that this is your experience alone, so I'll have to think eveyone else is just keepin' quiet about it then. OK?

Fine by me.

I actually take the rack mounting thingie off the PD-120 that I use for a snare. If I switch out 120's if one starts getting "tired" I'll do the same and put the hardware back on. In the meantime, I'm looking for a good ashtray/cupholder/etc. of the same circumference as a PD-120 so I can put that worthless mounting thingie to good use. (And yes, I know the cupholder innovation has been done, but I can't wait forever for you to market it!) :;
