    By now, most of us have been assimilated into the tablet culture—whether as a necessary evil, or productive tool.

    As musicians, we're seeing more and more integration of the iPad into live performances, from symphonies to bar bands.

    Determining optimum tablet placement can be a challenge—but not with the DW iPad mount.

     

    APPLICATION 

    If you have used an iPad, you've likely fumbled around with ways to prop it up against something, or set it on your floor tom case or floor tom. It’s aggravating to try and position a tablet so you can see it without risk of it falling over. Good, solid tablet placement can make the difference between a smooth gig—and a  broken tablet.

     

    DW’s iPad Mount allows using a cymbal stand as your base, which provides a rock-solid iPad mounting solution.

    A recessed area behind the iPad lets you to tighten a wing nut to the top of the stand via a hole in the rear of the mount; because it's recessed, it doesn’t interfere with the iPad

    I see the DW iPad mount serving all musicians, not just drummers. The ability to mount an iPad and have infinite angle adjustments for your device makes this a great solution for all players…and I believe guitarists and bassists will forgive being forced to use a cymbal stand. It might even be good for them! :)
