I've got a Gibraltar rack with a whole bunch of the long and short boom arms (SC-LBBT and SC-SBBT). It's a real disappointment to see that the vertical tubes that connect to the rack bend so easily. I only tighten my hardware to the point of securely holding things together, and I've got bent tubes. Also, I have indentations on my rack...although I don't over-tighten anything on it, there's obviously a point where you need to tighten down clamps to hold toms in place (even using double memory collars)!
Anyone else have problems like this? It's a real disappointment...I think Gibraltar's quality has always been stellar, but maybe they're just using cheaper materials now (thinner tubes) to cut costs and keep prices low?
