Roland APC-33 Electronic Module and Controller Mount with Clamp
Roland APC-33 Electronic Module and Controller Mount with Clamp Reviews
Sweetwater has the essentials for the well-equipped musician! The APC-33 is an all-purpose, dependable clamp that allows you to mount your eletronic percussion (like a SPD-20 or an SPD-11) to your acoustic kit. It features a thick-walled, 4 x 5 inch metal mounting plate with adjustable arm. Big, spring-loaded wing nuts for easy tightening with the hands.
Strong Mount for Roland V71
Clamped it to a old cymbal stand without the top and now the V71 can be moved wherever we need and is isolated from the kit.
This works fine on a V51 Drum Module
I couldn't find this information in the product description, and Google Gemini said it wasn't compatible, but it worked. Roland continues to make great products with lousy documentation!
Great,but ….
The APC-33 worked out well. However, we had to attach it to the clamp and bar we were employing with the stationary mount. We removed the stationary mount with clamp and attached the new mount with clamps to the old clamp and bar. We needed the bar to extend it because the V71 is so wide. Just using the APC-33 by itself caused the V71 to not fit within the confines of the stands. The articulating APC-33 allowed us to fine tune the V71 placement and angle. You can see the finished product in the photos. The V71 fits nicely now. But, it would be helpful if the bar between the clamps on the APC-33 was a little longer.
The clap claps
The clap clamps to my stand and does not move slip or slid. It holds fast with constant drumming and clamps on clampingly. If there is and room for improvement I would suggest wing nut's also for mounting the device to the clamp and where the clamp clamps that there be some sort of grip to prevent metal on metal paint stripping. However, as A clamp I don't see how it could possibly be out clamped, it is simply incredibly clamps and clamps exceedingly well.
Uni Mount for my Alesis multipad
High quality, fully adjustable, well thought out design, flip and switch configuration. Great gear
Excellent Clamp
This clamp is robust. I utilized it on on old cymbal stand to make an Octapad stand for a fraction of the price of the stand that was made for it. I can also clamp it to my high-hat stand and use it as an implement on my acoustic set. It really is worth the money.
Good job as always
I've been using Sweetwater for years, they are my go to resource. Always professional, accommodating, and they get your order out to you fast.
Tad is excellent!
The APC-33 is exactly what I needed! I needed it by a certain date and when the bad weather and roads kept me from getting it on the date I needed Tad shipped me another one down to Florida! The best service and friendship anywhere life customer here
Great!
This mount is super sturdy. It holds up my Roland SPD-30 well. I would buy again and recommend to anyone!
Just what I needed
I needed this for my Roland SPD-30. It fits perfectly and is a great quality. Just keep in mind that it won't come with the mounting screws. I bought my pad second hand so mine didn't have the mounting screws for it, but the screws are easy to get from a hardware store once you know the dimensions.
Not Quite As Advertised
So I bought this based on it being a Roland product. I was looking for something to mount my TD 11 on to it for triggering my drum set. When I got it, the pre drilled holes would not line up with the mounting holes for my module. Had to drill some new holes in order to mount the TD11 onto the platform. Other than that, sturdy and well built product. Lots of options for adjustments.
Module Clamp
Shipping was on time.Received courtesy call from Matt order details n when items will arrive. Awesome service
Everything and more.
Great clamp with a lot of options for multiple adjustments.
Rock solid.
Acquired this mount for the SPD-SX as an auxiliary percussion setup. Mounted on a cymbal stand—great tripod stability, positioning flexibility, and durability—this thing is rock solid!
Perfect for SPD-SX Pro
The mount works perfectly with the SPD-SX Pro. I was able to mount on an unused cymbal mount from my rack and it works great allowing a lot of variation in positioning, without relying on a ball-type mount that would likely slip its position over time.
Works great to mount TC-Helicon Perform to a mic stand
I used Velcro on top of this and on the bottom of the TC-Helicon Perform to stick them together. Finally, it is securely attached to my mic stand!!! I'm so glad I found it.
For my SPD SX
Solid build and quality. Fits the Roland SPD SX perfectly.
Solid construction, works great!
Exactly what I expected from the description and pictures! Very solid construction. Seems like this will last a lifetime!
Excellent
I have two, one for my Roland SPD-30 & one for my Roland TM-6Pro drums module! Highly recommended!
Screws not included
This would be a solid 5 if the mounting screws were included. Instead I had to go to the Roland website to get the thread size and length and then hit the hardware store. Very puzzling indeed. The clamp itself is very rugged and swivels in every direction. Roland please, through in $0.25 worth of screws and save us the hassle.
Works perfectly
I asked Ed Nystrom about a great solid mounting system for my ROLAND 50 module. One that will allow me to tilt or position the module so it"s quick to see and operate from my drum throne. This is very solid and versatile. It fits perfectly! Thank you!
Roland SPDSX mount
I rated this mount 2 stars because I find it insane that the mount has to be screwed in and out of the
SPDSX. Why would you make it such a pain to install and move the module???? Why not have one that involves one quick release knob?
Apc33 clamp
The clamp is good quality and can adjust to various diameter size stands. I didn't rate it 5 stars because once mounted the pad is not 100 percent level, it sits slightly to the left. It's not a big difference and I will keep using it. But enough not to get 5 star rating.
Roland APC-33 Electronic Module and Controller Mount and clamp
Very Flexible, and affordable. As always excellent service from Jef Green and Patrick.
Perfect and Sturdy
Great clamp. Very strong and easy to position. I used it to add the Alesis Sample Pad Pro to my V-Drum kit. A little pricey but works better than anything else out there. Just know before you buy that there are no screws included for the mounting plate.
Great as a multi clamp
I used this clamp system to create a shelf to mount to my laptop stand. I'm a drummer and wanted to minimize the stands and clutter on my drum platform. I control all of the loops and split tracks from the drum cage. My laptop sits up top. With this clamp and the little wood shelf I built, my Maschine controller and mouse pad sit at the bottom. It's a funky little set up but now everyone wants my set up. This clamps in its non traditional use has a lot of value.
Roland APC-33
Received the item in very good condition. With the mounting clamp i'm able to play my roland spd-s easily.
Cheapest solution to mounting an Octapad
As long as you have a spare cymbal stand, this thing does the trick. It's not quite as adjustable as I would have liked (I think the rigid arm should be a few inches longer so that it has enough clearance to tilt down more), but it is set up at a comfortable height and angle for me. I'm happy with it, but regarding the price and this one minor flaw, I would look into a stand built for the octapad because the mount would tilt without restriction for a little more money.
excellent choice for vg-99
I have two of these now, one for my VG-99 and one for my VB-99. They attach securely to a mic stand and keep the effects in reach with one less stand on the floor. And a much less expensive a solution than the PDS-10.
Sturdy Roland APC-33 Mount
One thing i would have preferred, mainly because of how my setup is, i wish the angled bar between the two tightening clamps on this Mounting Clamp was adjustable somehow so that this mount has more diverse movement! It's a great mount, does what it's supposed to. I made due with what i had, but overall not a problem with it!
Spdsx mount
Works great
Works well with SPD-30
Definitely a cheaper alternative that the PDS-10, and if you already have a spare stand, this is the way to go. Using with the Roland Octapad nestled to the left and just below my hi hat.
It took probably 20 minutes to get everything set correctly to integrate the Octapad comfortably in to my kit. Haven't had to touch it since. Heavy duty construction gives it a rugged feel, and I don't anticipate this will fail in any way. Works like a champ!
Roland APC-33
Great product. Does what it's supposed to do. No complaints.
Solid
I like it because it is solid. Unlike plastic, it is stronger. More secure and safe in taking care of the stuff it holds. Too strong, or maybe just my unit, is hard to mount on yamaha 7/8 mount. But that's alright.
