I recently ditched my drum rack for stands, but having issues keeping things positioned (I have a five piece kit with five e-pads). I always tell myself it will be easy to get it right at the show, but always find myself with stuff in odd positions.
Turns out there are a lot of variables, like how far the base is extended and what angle it sits at, in relation to the drum seat. I have found the angles to be horribly off when I go to play (I invariably have limited time to set up).
I have a feeling there are cumulative little errors that make for a big error once they add up. Anybody have some good techniques? I am putting multiple things on one stand, like drum pad, cymbal pad, acoustic tom and drum brain for example.
