The funniest thing is, I consider myself to be a typical RLF guy, with no
spatial awareness whatsoever... But, when I
described what I wanted at all the local music stores to their percussion
people, and even called some places around
the country, everybody said, I don't know of such a thing. So, I went to a
local imporium, and just said, take me to the
parts rack, came up with the parts, and had them unpackage them, and assembled
2 rack devices I needed. They
were amazed, as was I; but I think my spatial awareness has improved as I've
aged--3 now, and especially since I've
been working with my drum rack, now bi-level. (grin)
