Members Thirsty93 Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hmmm...a security device for drums....imagine walking away from your kit...opps! Hang on...whip out your fob and point it at your drums...chirp chirp....Ok...we can go. You know all kidding aside that would be a good invention.

Members Thingfish Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 I take home cymbals, stick bag and mics from any 2 day gig.If your bass pedal is high cost, take it, and maybe your snare, too.One loaded trip to the car. +1 I can carry a stick bag, double pedal bag, snare bag, and cymbal backpack in one trip. I don't leave the ability to play my drums behind. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jeff Graw Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 If someone really wants to steal them, they will. These methods are to keep a quick grab and run theft. Any ideas? Wait, you can do a quick run and grab theft.... on a drumkit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 Yes it's called polymorphic speed grabbing. 200 or more IPMs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members summit111 Posted January 11, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 My Brothers, I was talking about a quick grab and run for individual drums and parts! I actually ran a vinyl covered steel cable through several lugs of each drum and stand, then padlocked the ends together. I took the cymbals and sticks home each night and covered the rest with a drum cover. All went well! Later, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zon5string Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 Honestly I'm surprised nobody has come up with a locking cymbal holder at this point because of situations like this.Don't forget the kick pedals either. http://tinyurl.com/37voao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WINNY Posted January 12, 2008 Members Share Posted January 12, 2008 As much as this is going to make me sound evil... I have played several musical productions with my babys... and... .. ... every time i have left them miked, set up and uncovered!!! i know its shocking, but i have had no thefts! although i do live in a small town in a lonely part of australia, so maybe that has something to do with it , and i work at the venue as a tech, and i alarm the place every night myself... meh disregard all ive said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members genghiskog Posted January 12, 2008 Members Share Posted January 12, 2008 Wow you guys have really opened my eyes! I never really thought about how nearly impossible it is to protect your drums. Where do you all live at again? And to think - I've actually been paying for all my drum equipment up to this point.

Members drmrdude Posted January 12, 2008 Members Share Posted January 12, 2008 as opposed to you being happy about their theft? haha.... sry... couldnt resist! Just look at them as reasons why to buy a new kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HBdrummer Posted January 12, 2008 Members Share Posted January 12, 2008 Setup-Break Down...Night after Night...it goes with the turf...I've had three kits stolen over ten years and each one pissed me off. My insurance won't cover it anymore, and club owners take no responsibility. Ask the venue manager if they will insure the kit. Some will.Otherwise...watch your back!

Members DW_Man_TX Posted January 12, 2008 Members Share Posted January 12, 2008 DO NOT DRILL!! Why damage your shells, have you asked the production company and the theater if they have insurance that would cover you? Or make a few calls, you may find it would not be a lot to do it yourself them you are covered for sure. If anything I would use an existing tom mount hole or airhole or something.Unless of course you really don't care about extra holes. You can always run the cable around the tension rods a few times as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zon5string Posted January 13, 2008 Members Share Posted January 13, 2008 That doesn't lock. Well, technically, since it doesn't have a "lock", I guess you're right. But, you can turn the setscrew in enough such that you can't remove the cymbal without undoing said setscrew. I'd call that "locked" since you can't just "push the button" and lift the cymbal off.

Members New Wave Bob Posted January 13, 2008 Members Share Posted January 13, 2008 I've been a professional Locksmith for 25 years. If some criminal wants them, they're gone. It takes the same amount of time to tie everything together and padlock it as it does to just break down. You don't really want to drill into your drums, do you? It's a paying gig right? Take them home, it's part of the gig or just trust the venue and hope they have insurance against theft and fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
