Reddit mentions: The best cymbal 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.

>I've been playing for 6 years but I still don't know hardware names lol sorry

You're cool.

I didn't learn what any of that stuff was called untill I started hanging around here a lot. I've been playing for eighteen years and learn new stuff everyday!

There are a ton of different options for what you're looking for. From the basic quick release to boutique clutches with cool features like the Coady Clutch and everything in-between. I'm not a double bass player, so I don't really have a recommendation for you, hopefully someone else will chime in.

Not OP, but those are hats on the right. If you look under the first floor tom you can just barely make out the pedal, it's pointing towards the bass drum. Surprised he doesn't have one of these though. I just got one and it's pretty awesome. As far as the toms on the left, it may be a bit of both. They are concert toms; if you look through the heads on them you can see there isn't hardware for a bottom head. If you want a reference on how they sound, the first four toms on Neil Peart's set up from the 80's had concert toms.

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

I have one almost exactly like this (probably the exact same but an earlier version), and it's perfectly fine. It has served me for years with no problems whatsoever.

People on this sub love to try to talk people into more expensive or heavier duty gear than they really need. But they don't understand that the inexpensive hardware that's available today is far better than the hardware most of the famous pro drummers were using in the '70s and earlier.

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?

Gibraltar makes a good one that's pretty inexpensive.

This is my favorite hi hat stand, and it can be found for about 100 bucks total.

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

In my teens and early 20s (I'm almost 40 now) I used a double. Once i got in to more marketable acts doing pop/dance songs, it wasn't needed and removing it allowed me to compact the setup a little bit. I've thought about bringing it back but I'm to accustomed to my hihat/snare placement..... then i saw this:

Places the slave to the outside of the hihat. The only thing holding me back is that they don't offer it in the 9000, which i use now. I haven't touched a 5000 in so long, i need to stop by a shop and feel one out.
