Live-Performer TOMMY COUNTACH TALKS ABOUT HIS STUDIO SETUP
Intro
As a live performer and studio enthusiast, Tommy Countach knows the challenges of a complex synth setup all too well. During the recording of his current music video, in the studio, and in everyday stage use, he relies on three stands from Blackpanthersystem to efficiently, securely, and portably organize his extensive equipment — from keyboards and effect units to a modular system. In this experience report, he explains why the system has become his central solution. Here’s the video in full length.
WHY THE BLACKPANTHERSYSTEM IS IDEAL FOR LIVE PERFORMERS
Tommy plays live frequently and needs to move his gear quickly. With the caster set for effortless mobility on the stands, his entire setup can be transported to the stage and back in no time:
„I can simply roll onto the stage, unplug everything during a quick changeover, roll back down – super practical!“
Among other things, he uses the Para with three tiers – and recommends choosing this model right away, even if you initially only need two tiers:
„You can simply set the tiers lower and start by using just two – that’s how I began as well.“
MODULAR FREEDOM FOR STUDIO AND STAGE
Tommy particularly appreciates the modularity:
- Adjustable height and tilt angles of the keyboard tiers
- Add-ons, including:
- Tabletop (DJ Table)
- Microphone holder –Iberoxo Suporte Micro
- Rack mount for MIDI matrix or mixer (Sapucaia)
- Quassia Nota laptop holder
„The mount for my MIDI matrix sits under the table, and right above it there’s a power strip – everything is permanently wired.“
Through the well-thought-out positioning, he has the most important elements within easy reach and avoids unnecessary reconnecting.
SMART CABLE AND POWER MANAGEMENT
In a live setup, efficiency is crucial:
With power strips mounted on the stand, smaller devices remain permanently connected.
Power supplies can stay mounted while the devices are simply removed – saving valuable time.
„I always leave the small gear plugged in and wired on the table.“
TRANSPORT, SETUP AND MUSCLE MEMORY
Another major advantage is the reusability of the configuration:
The stands can be loaded into the car fully assembled – without taking them apart.
Alternatively: set up and dismantle with just a few simple steps.
Tommy uses the same setup in the studio and on stage:
„That has helped me tremendously. I always play exactly the same – it’s muscle memory!“
CONCLUSION
For musicians like Tommy Countach, who perform live and need to bring complex setups with them, the Blackpanthersystem offers a mobile, stable, and highly customizable solution. From casters to rack mounts, tabletops, microphone and laptop holders, all the way to integrated power strips — this system is as modular as its user. Anyone using more than one keyboard will benefit from its flexibility and stability in the long run.
