Title: drum clamp for umbrella?
Post by: Lil Kim Jong-Il on August 26, 2004, 03:48:59 PM

At Floydfest I saw a taper using a clamp for his umbrella.  It was a drummer's clamp for attaching a cymbal post to the drum kit.  I forgot what he called it and I can't find it online.

It was small and perfect.

Any ideas what this was?

10 sec Google search on 'drum clamp' yields this:

yeah, I was all over google like a horny teenager in his dad's buick as soon as I got home from the festival.  There are tons of different drummers clamps.  That one isn't the one I'm after.

The one I'm after is black and accomodates a 18-20mm pole on one side and a 6-9mm pole on the other.  If no one knows of it and I do eventually find it, I'll post it when I do.  It's the sweetest umbrella clamp ever.  I was really hoping that taper I met was on this board and could remind me of what it was.


EDIT: After posting, I remembered that he recommended drummersworld and I called them and they pointed me to latin percussion claw.  I found it here: http://www.latinpercussion.com/Product_Showcase/Claws_and_Brackets/lp_percussion_claw.html.

I use the standard clamp and remove the stud that the tbar attaches too, then I take off the plastic end of the umbrella and put it in place of the 5/8" stud, just screw it down into the aluminum post of the umbrella.

Just ordered one of those LP's to use for an umbrela clamp for my 13' stand.  It looks like it would hold up in a storm with a good umbrella.  Anyone have had any storm stories they want to share about this clamp and how good it is?  Shure I could have gone to toys r us but this was a good find tonight.  T+ for the post
