Need a solution to rack mount 6, 8,and 10 inch roto toms on a 43 inch curved front bar, which I have  12 and 13 inch toms
Because of space limitations, I would like mount the rot toms above the rack times. Any suggestions for clamps or mounts from Gibraltar or other brands?

With your Roto-toms you get a stand. If you just use the top portion of the stand without the base you can use a standard Gibraltar clamp like this: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gibraltar/SC-GPRMC-Clamp-1273887992924.gc
One thing to be aware of is Crosstalk. The Roto-toms mounted in that channel are very prone to crosstalk between each other. In my instruction folder on the Stealth Roto conversion kits I have some pics of a dampening solution for that, and I've gotcha covered. But if you mount to your rack you then tend to add more crosstalk problems to the rest of the drums on the rack near the Rotos. For me, I just use the stand with the base that came with the Rotos and place that outside my rack. With the Rotos mounted separate from the rack it is one less problem. J
I could tell you where to stick that piezo! :D ;)

There are quite a few pics of ways people have mounted Rotos on the net too that might give you some ideas: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=mount+roto+toms+to+drum+rack&qpvt=mount+roto+toms+to+drum+rack&qpvt=mount+roto+toms+to+drum+rack&FORM=IGRE
just a matter of different Gibraltar clamps, stand parts, etc. that can be rigged together.
