Probably the best.

05.08.2016

I purchased this drum riser to replace the one that came with my Ludwig Breakbeats Kit. The Ludwig riser snapped after a years worth of gigging. I found that it was temperamental and difficult to use.
The Gibraltar riser however is the complete opposite. Not only is the build quality a lot better, it extends further, tightens easier, and has a better rubber grip for the bass pedal.
I use it to lift a 16" bass drum, however it does seem strong enough to lift any size bass drum.
This riser is noticeably heavier than the Ludwig version and I would therefore recommend taking it off of the drum when packing away. I was able to leave the Ludwig version attached to the 16" kick as I knew there would be no strain on the drum hoop. With the weight of the Gibraltar riser I can imagine it putting some stress on hoops when packed away.
I would highly recommend this riser. I've certainly had no issues with it. Note that if you do purchase this riser, you will need an Allen key to tighten the hoop clamps.

Not for 18" Floor tom converted as bass drum

Stephane4242, 13.06.2017

I had no idea that converting a 18" floor tom into a bass drum would be so painful. This bass drum riser is meant for bass drum (duh !), and it seems very solid and perfect until I fitted it to the hoop of the 18" tom and realised that the 2 clamps (tightened by the silver hex screws) are not clamping the hoop enough and just by few millimetres. One solution would be to insert a little strip of flexible plywood (5 millimetres thick) between the clamps and the hoop and that would probably be tight enough to hold, however this is not meant to be a DIY/home made project. I'm here to play drum with solid and reliable products and this product doesn't fit a thin Tama 18" floor tom hoop.
For anybody out there, there a gap in the market for properly and painlessly converting 16" and 18" floor toms into bass drums. This product is NOT one of them.
I recognised the solid build and heavy feel but it doesn't work for my needs.
Hope this review and my painful experience will help you if you intent to convert your floor toms in a bass drum.
