Reddit mentions: The best cymbal boom stands

The lugs on the drums will be fine. You have to worry about the cymbal stand moreso than the drum lugs. I have mounted a 16" floor tom to a boom stand under my ride cymbal. I have Pearl hardware and drums and use the combination of the tom stand, the heavy duty boom stand, and the Optimount system on the tom.

The tom stand thing is pretty heavy duty. I took out one of the tom arms that came with it and stuck the top half of the boom stand in it. The boom stand supports a giant ride cymbal that helps to offset the weight of the floor tom, when balanced correctly. You've got to spread the feet of the tom stand pretty wide, though, so make sure you've got good clearance.

If you want to get super crazy, you can get one of these adapters and mount that to an existing heavy duty boom stand, then in the two remaining holes mount a floor tom and another boom stand. I did this with a china cymbal, a ride cymbal, and my floor tom for a while. Nothing was worse for the wear and all the hardware still is great.

Easy with any reasonable quality boom stand. I have a Sound Percussion and a Tama Roadpro that I've done this with before. Basically, just get a boom stand, any will do (9000 cymbal stands imo are overpriced and overengineered, you don't need their level of stability- yamaha, tama, and mapex all make fantastic boom stands for less), and put two of these on it (that specific link is what I use- very adjustable & easy to use).

With one attachment on either side, you have the ideal ride to the left, crash on top, and china to the right situation. If you want, say the ride in the middle with the china/crash elevated on either side, you could get any multiclamp and two boom arms, and just fly those to either side.

I found this stand on amazon

It's legitimately reasonably priced but has actual strength and quality to it as well

edit: goddammit, now it's priced at $90. But when I bought it it was at $30 which was amazing

thanks! The pictures are at different angles, and I was wondering if the booms were longer/shorter all that.

Could I ask you one more question? How tall can the DW 6700 Boom stand go? I notice that it only has one height tube. I like to put my ride kinda high, not extremely high, but a bit over shoulder height (seated) and angled toward me. I'm used to Yamaha stands like this that can go plenty high.

Do you find that the 6700 boom is shorter compared to what I suppose is the average or regular cymbal stand height?

I got one of these and I'll never Mount off my bass drum again.
