The Quick Stick-
Stick Holder is a new type of Drum Stick Holder co-designed
by drummers and has many advantages over existing Drum
Stick Holders.
For the best results,
it is worthwhile spending a little time setting up your
Quick Stick - Stick Holder. We have gone into a little
more detail on the various optional fixing positions
here than in the standard instructions.
Quick set-up
guide
| Step |
1. |
Fix suitable end of clamp onto chosen
hardware.
(e.g. hi-hat or cymbal stand, bass drum post,
floor tom leg). |
| |
2. |
Insert suitably sized L- Arm or Straight Arm
into one of the reduced ends of holder (remember
holder can be used in upside-down mode). |
| |
3. |
Place other end of L-Arm into remaining end
of clamp. |
| |
4. |
Position angle as required. |
| |
5. |
Gently adjust position of stick stoppers
using the butt-end of a drumstick or a suitable
small rod (see instructions) to determine depth
of stick. |
To dismantle:
| Step |
1. |
Remove sticks. |
| |
2. |
Release clamp. |
| |
3. |
Remove L-Arm from holder. |
| |
4. |
Check correct number of Stick Stoppers
are present. |
Reverse mode
- 3 sticks, on stand
Setting up: Select the clamp to be used
Summary: Generally clamps
are used to give the multitude of fixing positions to
enable the position of the Quick Stick - Stick Holder
to be ideally suited to the kit layout and playing style.
Reverse mode - 3 sticks,
on stand
Generic L-Arms ( approximate diameters 9.0mm to 10mm
one end, and 13.0mm the other) are used to fix the Quick
Stick - Stick Holder in the desired position on the
kit by pushing the "spare" end of the L-Arm
into the appropriate reduced diameter hole in the Quick
Stick - Stick Holder * See the end of this section for
some examples commonly available Clamps and L arms.
Given the option, the
smallest end of L-Arm should be inserted into the smallest
reduced hole of the holder (i.e. tube 2). This will
enable the Stick Stopper to be adjusted more easily
when pushing a suitably sized tool through the 'unused'
larger reduced hole (i.e.tube 4), when necessary. An
exception to this is may occur when fixing to a floor
tom leg.
Normal mode
- 5 sticks, on cymbal stand
The Quick Stick fixing
method has significant advantages over other stick holders:
- User can choose their
preferred type of clamp and L-Arm from the wide
range available, instead of having a pre- fixed
attachment on the holder ( drummers often have spares
or suitable bargain second hand clamps and L-Arms
which could be used for this purpose).
- Eliminates any breakage
or rattle problems associated with using some spring
type/ jaw clamp systems.
- Offers a much wider range
of optional fixing positions
As an alternative to using a clamp:
By replacing a Cymbal
Arm with a suitable L- Arm on a cymbal stand the Quick
Stick - Stick Holder can easily be mounted and provide
various angles. This is an ideal option when using in
a downward pointing angle e.g. for high percussion work
(suggest maximum 45 degree downward tilt).
The above option is equally
handy when a low stick reach is required.
Simply drop the cymbal stand posts to their lowest positions
and adjust holder to preferred angle. (NB: Lowest position
obtainable is with holder in upside-down mode)
Conveniently, the Quick
Stick - Stick Holder can also be fitted into some double
braced legs of stands used on a drum kit (e.g. hi-hat
- pic 3). Place the stick stopper near the top of the
end tube being pressed into double braced leg to allow
a secure fixing.
Still holds 1-4 sticks.
