Secure an iPad for Musicians of All Types

Drummers. Singers. Bass Players. Musicians of all types can easily integrate new technology, apps and tools into music more easily than ever before. Whether using sheet music apps, practicing along with an online video tutorial or simply keeping a set list handy during a performance, the most important element to using an iPad in your work is having it close by, at the right angle and not in the way while you play! 

The answer to achieve all of these benefits comes in the form of the Rock Solid iPad Music & Mic Stand Kit or Rock Solid iPad Drum Kit.
