drumhoist
A drumhoist is a type of lifting device used in the music industry, particularly in drum kit assembly and maintenance. It is designed to safely and efficiently lift and lower drum kits, which can weigh hundreds of pounds. The drumhoist typically consists of a frame with a hoist mechanism, often operated by a hand crank or electric motor, and a lifting platform or sling that attaches to the drum kit's hoist points. This allows drummers to easily transport their kits to and from rehearsals, gigs, and recording sessions without the risk of injury from lifting heavy equipment manually. Drumhoists are commonly used by professional drummers, drum techs, and drum kit manufacturers to ensure the safe handling of drum kits. They are available in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different types of drum kits and user preferences.
