Members WhiplashBand Posted February 16, 2015 Members Share Posted February 16, 2015 Just shy of a year ago, I decided I wanted to redo my setup after seeing a picture on the Pearl website. I decided to add a halo to my existing ICON rack setup. After months of looking for parts, and getting the money together to buy everything, it has finally become a reality! Here's some pictures to take you through the process. I'm limited to 5 pictures per post, so this will be a few posts long. I hope you enjoy and feel free to fire any questions you may have at me Pictures: 1. The original, one tier setup 2. The rack stripped to the bare bars 3. The pile of clamps generated by all this (oy!) 4. The support bars that fly the halo 5. The first test hanging of the halo, before tweaking On to the next post...

Members SYMBOLIC Posted February 24, 2015 Members Share Posted February 24, 2015 Thats looks like a lot of work, and I thought my rack was a lot of work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rayboomboom Posted February 25, 2015 Members Share Posted February 25, 2015 That looks amazing Whip. Sleek, clean look. My concern is the weight on the back support that is holding all of this up. The pic that 'started it all' has an extra support on each side. I'm curious why you didn't add that.

I have the extra supports too, they're topped with black tom arms, look close and you'll see them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rayboomboom Posted February 26, 2015 Members Share Posted February 26, 2015 Now I see it! The black kinda hides it, which makes it look even sleeker.Nice job Whip! So how long does it take to set this up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WhiplashBand Posted February 26, 2015 Author Members Share Posted February 26, 2015 So how long does it take to set this up? I can go from completely torn down and packed up, to completely set up in about 20 minutes, a little longer if I need to hook up mics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racks make things easier once they are up. I used one for my 4 piece kit, with ride, 2 crashes and a splash, and it took no time at all to set up. They also take up less room onstage with fewer points of contact that aren't spread out over more square feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
