I love the snare stand setup there. Much the same idea that Gibraltar is doing with their stealth system, but I imagine the Hexrack has that beat due to its flat sides. I will be stealing that idea for sure...
Can't wait to get one and replace my 15-year-old Gibraltar. It's worked for me, but it is tired and old...
I've been doing the side racks thing for several years, it's much more workable than a full rack across the bass drum. Allows you to carry the whole thing on and off a stage fairly quickly.
Cheers...
