What is the primary purpose of the Gibraltar E-Module Stand?

It is a dedicated low-level stand designed to securely hold electronic drum modules, samplers, or percussion pads at a comfortable height for the seated musician.

What is the height range of this stand?

The stand features a telescoping downstem that allows the height to be adjusted from 18 inches to 27 inches.

Does the stand include a mounting plate for the module?

No, the stand does not include the drum module or the pole mount. A separate pole mount specific to your electronics unit is required.

How does the stand provide stability?

Stability is achieved through double-braced, snare stand-style legs, which create a wide and sturdy base to prevent movement during play.

Can I adjust the angle of my sampler on this stand?

Yes, the stand features a geared tilter that provides a full 360 degrees of angling rotation for precise positioning.

What kind of clamp does it use?

The stand includes an incorporated clamp designed to firmly grip the downstem of any electronics unit's pole mount.

Is this stand suitable for standing percussionists?

Given its maximum height of 27 inches, it is primarily designed for seated players. Taller stands may be required for standing applications.

How does this compare to a standard cymbal stand with a clamp?

The E-Module stand is more stable for heavy samplers as it is dedicated to one piece of gear and sits lower to the ground, reducing vibrations.

Is the stand portable for gigging?

Yes, like most Gibraltar hardware, the legs fold up and the telescoping downstem retracts, making it easy to transport in a hardware bag.

What is the typical price for this stand?

The typical retail price for the Gibraltar E-Module Stand is approximately £105.00.

Can I use this for a tablet or a small mixer?

While designed for drum modules, it can be used for other devices if they have a compatible pole mount attachment.

Is the downstem compatible with other Gibraltar hardware?

Yes, it follows standard Gibraltar hardware dimensions, though it is specifically designed to work with their electronics mounting range.

Gibraltar Hardware E-Module Stand

The Gibraltar E-Module Stand is a heavy-duty, low-level mounting solution specifically designed for electronic drum modules, samplers, and multi-pads. Utilising a double-braced tripod base and a geared tilter, it provides a stable and highly adjustable platform for integrating electronic components into a traditional drum kit or workstation.

Overview

The Gibraltar E-Module Stand is engineered to solve the common ergonomic challenges faced by drummers and percussionists when integrating electronic hardware into their setups. Rather than relying on multi-clamp attachments to existing cymbal stands, this dedicated stand offers a free-standing, low-profile alternative. It is designed to accommodate the downstem of most standard electronics units, though it requires a separate pole mount for the specific module being used.

Design and Key Features

The stand is built around a robust, double-braced tripod leg system, similar in design to professional-grade snare stands. This ensures a low centre of gravity and prevents tipping during energetic performances.

Key physical features include: * Telescoping Downstem: Offers a height range of 18 inches to 27 inches, allowing for comfortable access regardless of the user's throne height. * Geared Tilter: Provides 360-degree angling rotation, ensuring the screen and pads of the electronics module are positioned at the optimal viewing and striking angle. * Standardised Clamp: The integrated clamp is designed to firmly grip the downstem of a third-party electronics pole mount.

Suitability and Application

This stand is primarily suited for musicians using samplers (such as the Roland SPD series or Alesis Strike Multipad) or electronic drum brains. Because it is a floor-standing unit, it is ideal for players who prefer their electronics to be positioned to the left or right of their main kit without putting undue stress on other hardware. It is equally useful for studio environments where a stable, height-adjustable platform is required for desktop-style MIDI controllers or small mixers.

Comparison to Alternatives

Compared to standard percussion stands like the K&M 19797 Tablet Stand or specialised piccolo stands like the Hercules DS504B, the Gibraltar E-Module Stand is significantly more heavy-duty. While keyboard stands like the Gibraltar GKS-KT75 are designed for horizontal stability over a wider area, the E-Module stand focuses on vertical stability for high-impact striking surfaces. It offers a more secure and permanent mounting solution than general-purpose speaker stands like the K&M 214/6, which lack the specific clamping and tilting mechanisms required for drum modules.
