A better way to read music for drumline and beyond.

Born on the Line

DrumRig began with a familiar frustration: reading sheet music in a drumline has never been easy. Some drumlines simply set their flip folders on the drumhead, where they frequently slide or fall off entirely. Others turn to phones instead, but without a secure mount, phones risk sliding off the drum, overheating in direct sun, and becoming a source of distraction during rehearsal. A third approach is taping printed music directly to the drumhead, which only holds up when conditions cooperate — no wind, no rain. Regardless, it's only a matter of time before the sheet music is destroyed.

More importantly, every one of these methods keeps drummers looking down at their instruments rather than up at their drum majors and directors, creating a disconnect that leads to missed cutoffs and breakdowns in musical communication.

The result is DrumRig: a new approach engineered from the ground up to deliver a better way to read music on the go. Every rig is printed in durable PETG filament, chosen specifically for its heat and water resistance and built to withstand outdoor rehearsal and performance conditions. Like the best innovations, DrumRig was designed by the people who actually play and teach in our field. Designed by drummers for drummers.

Built for the Field

DrumRig mounts securely to snare and tenor drum rims, with a fit tailored to each drum. Two 8-inch velcro straps wrap around the tension rods and latch back onto the device — no tools required, installed in seconds.

The secret to DrumRig's design is how it hooks to your drum: it hangs off the rim without ever touching the drumhead. The result is zero impact on sound quality, and a fit that only gets more secure the more weight you put on it.

Every DrumRig ships ready to use, with flip folder pages and metal rings included, so it's ready to mount and march.

Beyond the Field

While DrumRig was born on the field, its uses quickly spread to the drum set and beyond.

Every drum set player knows the problem: a music stand around a kit is awkward at best. Squeezed to the left of the hi-hat or the right of the floor tom, either placement forces drummers to crane their neck every time they need to check the music. DrumRig solves this by mounting discreetly on the snare drum or floor tom rim, letting drummers read music while staying connected to their kit and bandmates.

DrumRig is sized and built to support anything from a phone to a full-size iPad, as long as the drum sits at a generally flat, stable angle.* Pull up your charts, a PDF, or your favorite sheet music app instead of fighting with an external stand.
