Better than standard risers
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.

Very stong and works brilliantly
I bought this to raise my Natal 18" kick drum a few inches so that the drum beater would hit the centre of the head. I had used the drum once in practice to try it and the beater of the kick drum pedal hit the drum very near the top and it wasnt that loud. Because of the length of the stem of the beater I could only lower it so much but that didnt work. The solution was very simple to buy this unit. The clamps hold the unit securly on the hoop and the hight of the unti can be adusted with two wing nuts. There are other cheaper units but having bought Gilbalter products in the past I knew it would be worth it as they are always very sturdy and up to the job. A good buy. Cant wait for the next gig to use it.

Terrible product, poor design I DO NOT RECOMMEND..
As a professional musician touring around the world, I wanted to get that “almost” center beater sound from my 18 inch bass drum - which is why I actually bought the Gibraltar bass drum riser.
I mounted the riser and ensured that the screws that are fixing the clamps onto the hoop were screwed properly and tight. And now comes the part, where the issues due to the poor design came to the surface.
At first, the pedal spring reached its end due to the bad design of the pedal mount on the riser itself (the metal plate is too long), which causes the drummer to hit the pedal ALL the way in order to make the beater hit the drum head.
The second and most DISSPOINTING thing is that the whole product is sooo badly designed that the tiny screws underneath the clamps loosen after only 10 minutes of playing! Never the less, I did tighten them a couple of times using a Phillips screwdriver in order to save the shows.
And for the sole purpose of keeping the so called “bass drum riser” in a playable condition and try to make it work with my simple bop kit, I am now carrying a screwdriver wherever I go. And instead of playing, I’m wasting my time with this poorly designed product by Gibraltar.
Looks like I’ll sell it on eBay after all, and I surely will not recommend it to anyone.

Not for 18" Floor tom converted as bass drum
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.

You wouldn't know how much you need one.
We normally use as small a bass drum as possible, for various reasons. With playing double bass, this poses a problem in trying to get the best angle without adjusting the perfect pedal setup. This riser is the perfect solution. Cheap, easily adjustable and easily replaceable should it succumb to the rigours of the road. Essential for any drummer who requires a modular, flexible setup.

Good riser,but comes with too small hoop guard
i use on my pdp 20 inch kick drum,with pdp 800 series double pedal.everything is ok,stabile...But: You need to buy 2 additional hoop guard to avoid metal to metal contact,and for not damaging your bass drum wood hoop.(gibraltar sc-bdhg) for exemple,or similar rubber hoop guard.

Gibraltar SC-BDPM Doorstop
I wanted to use this on a Gretsch Catalina but there are two flaws: (1) the pins which clamp down onto the hoop go through their own rubber protectors and make dents into the hoop, leaving the rubber protectors to float uselessly; and (2) the floor plate extends forward of the hoop, so my pedal must clamp onto it but is then too far from the head; requiring me to overextend the beater action and risk denting the hoop with the beater rod. The hardware looks and feels solid but, sorry, suffers from poor design.

ok
it is well made, sturdy product, and it does what it should do. i would personally like that it can go even lower than 5 cm, but that is not possible. grip on bass drum is a little flimsy so you have to thighten it up pretty good.
anyway it is better than riser that came along with my catalina jazz club.

Bassdrum has risen!
I've got an 18 inch bassdrum, so it needs to be lifted if I want my pedal to hit the middle.
This piece of hardware does exactly that. It's stable and durable looking. And to top it all, hitting in the middle makes the bassdrum sound better!
There are cheaper alternatives, but sometimes you don't want to be cheap. Especially if it's about your bassdrum+toms or ride cymbal, you don't want them to come down...

Not much to say. I use this riser on a pearl export 18" bass drum and even though the riser is sturdy u have to take great car not to damage your drums from it. maybe some better pads where pressure is being put would make it better but still its ok for the price.
