I was looking around at drum racks to mount my toms and cymbals on because my stands are very annoying as they shake every time I strike my cymbals. I currently have just one bass drum, but I plan on getting another, so I found a double bass drum rack at Musician's Friend manufactured by Gibraltar as seen here:

Now my question is, once that I get my other bass drum, another mounted tom, another floor tom, and cymbal additions bringing me up to 5 toms(3 which are mounted) and 9 cymbals, how would I go about mounting that up? I see in that picture that it has 4 clamps to mount with, but I'm not sure what additional hardware I might need besides 8 more of those clamps. Can anyone give me any insight or suggestions on this issue to help it be better organized?

Well at my local drum store, i don't know about yours, they have extra claps for about 12 bucks. I think thats a pretty good deal. I would make sure before i make a large purchase like that check and make sure that your music store carries them. I am not sure if they have different claps for cymbals and toms but you could look into that.

That sort of what I was trying to figure out, but I'll check and see if my local music store has them so I don't have to play 25$/clamp.

Thanks for the reply.

I would reccomend getting a Pearl ICON rack... the clamps are about the same price, and the rack itself is square so theres no chance on the clamp slipping and one of your toms falling on your bass drum or something. Just an opinion tho.

I can't recomend the pearl dr-80 enough. It's the cheapest rack on the market, The clamps don't slip due to square tubing and at the end of the show you just fold it up.

I used to own a gibralter. It was heavy, and you had to pull the whole thing apart after the show not to mention brake your hands doing up the clamps so they wouldn't slip, I actually broke a couple of clamps.

I got the dr-80 three years ago and its taken quite a beating thus far with no complaints. I'll get an icon when I have roadies to set it up for me.

Bear in mind any rack you buy will require more hardware once you start setting it up, but once you've got your hardware together you'll be happy as a pig in poop.
