Now where do I put it?

[jonm42]

I just got my TD-30. Yay! I need to mount it on an MDS-4 rack. Boo! It doesn't fit where the current TD-4 brain is. It doesn't fit next to hi hat. It doesn't fit over next to TOM3. Any and all ideas welcome! Preferably with minimum purchasing of extras -- this kinda ate most of my budget for the next decade or two … Many thanks!

You could try something like a multi-clamp (here'a a pearl one: http://www.steveweissmusic.com/produ...9/multi-clamps) to hang it off the rack but you'll want to try it first. I tried using a clamp to hang my TD30 from my hihat stand (on my 'non-rack' setup) but whilst it worked, it didn't give me the flexibility in positioning I wanted.

In the end I ended up finding a (well priced) Roland stand (PDS10) -> http://www.roland.com/products/en/PDS-10/ I now use my clamp to hold my little mixer (which mounts on a microphone stand) to the back of my PDS-10 stand. The combo gives me quick access to both the module and mixer and i can move it around to suit the venue setup.

Thats an interesting idea -- so the mounting plate on the PDS-10 fits the back of the TD-30? That would be sweet. Thanks!

I use a cheap cymbal stand to mount my module. Easily placed anywhere, the second clamp fits the mounting tube.

I mount my 2box on the kick. No special hardware, just some L sheet metals ...

Oh definitely!
Hey Wolfgang: Show us those L-sheets (!!!)

Anyone have any insight on this, please?

I used the simmons pad support stand for the 30 module, same idea.

I have been known to use a multiclamp too.

I'll give it a shot...


So this here is a Roland mounting plate....






....as you can see in this picture, the little 'stubby' part of the plate can be used to mount a multiclamp to it, so it can be mounted to existing hardware...







...and you can kinda see in this next picture what Perceval described above: With the help of its tilting mechanism clamp, it fits snuggly inside a regular downtube, like the lower base of a cymbal-stand and whatnot:

Forgot about this ... Here they are.
There are 2 screws, you just loosen them a bit and then slide the module out.
I rarely do that, but anyway, it's handy ...
