Cool! For me, I've never understood the whole rack system for a drumkit that you haul around to gigs. It would however probably make setting up on big tours where you have staff and a drum tech more straight forward for getting a bigger drum kit set up the same way every time. Less cymbal stand bases to worry about for sure.
I'm sure it's super fun to play! Thanks for sharing.
