I have been using a drum rack for as long as I can remember. With a 7-piece kit and 10 cymbals it just makes it quicker and easier for set up and tear down at shows.
Should I be worried about recording with it though? Would the isolation provided by individual cymbal (or even tom) stands make a sonic difference?
We have made recordings in the past with the rack, and they came out alright, but I am really putting the effort in on our next project to remove any huge sonic offenders that I can. If the difference is negligible or non-existent I'll spend my money somewhere else.
I did learn the hard way that you can't mount the mics to the same rack as the drums/cymbals are mounted on. That was an interesting crescendo of death.
Thoughts?
