This second video in the Rolling Drum Kit Platform series details building the folding casters and the catch that keeps them in the down position.
The idea of the platform is to transport a small drum kit without having to break it down. The drum rack legs are permanently anchored to the platform so that they do not shift, fold or collapse. The cymbals and heads may be lowered for transporting and raised for playing without needing to pack anything down. Caster wheels fold up out of the way to set the platform down for playing, then fold down and lift it for transporting.
The kit used in this video is an enhanced Roland TD-11. It uses an MDS-4V stand. The original PD-8A pads have been replaced with two PD-100s and one PD-125. The added ride cymbal is a CY-15R, freeing both CY-8 cymbals for crashes, one using the auxiliary cymbal input jack on the sound module.
Upcoming videos will show details of the design and assembly.
