Hi all.. Just acquired a used but good condition Gibraltar universal back rest that attaches to the drum stool height adjuster.. Now, is it me or is this bloody thing annoying ?.. When i'm at a gig, the last thing i need is to fumble, and constantly tighten, loosen, and adjust something which i thought was supposed to be quick and easy.. In order to attach the back rest, i have to fumble behind the screw nut, hold it with a wrench, just tighten to the wing nut so that it is fastened securely to the height adjustment post.. Is this normal ?
To be fair, i just attached it to one of my Gibraltar cymbal stands just to see how secure it really is, and i didn't actually use it on the throne..
I know that throne is different, having a spiral thread which makes up the height adjustment, so i have no idea how it's going to go once i actually attach it to the adjustment post.. Has anyone had any experience or annoyances with this product ? You can click on the link to see the product in question.. Thanks in advance for the replies..
