Everything works as it should, just watch out for these rubber bands on the legs😀 Considering that you have about 100 gigs a year, in 5 years that's about 500 gigs, and the stand are still in incredible condition, incredible. Congratulations on the video, it's great.
Great 5 year review! Thanks for posting. As for the height of the snare stand, for someone playing a 5 1/2 x 14, can you get good height out of the stand? I like to sit tall on the throne and I like to have the rim of my snare at about belt level. Thanks for any info you can provide. Peace!
Thank you for the update. As I'm getting older arthritis and carpal tunnel are taking over. Wish Tama would produce a lighter weight version of the Lever-Glide again. It was lighter and very sturdy when introduced years ago, and I loved it. Now they are simply overbuilt. I have the Kevlar IC HH905D 'tank' version of it now, and still love it, but it is simply too heavy for no real reason IMHO. Going with this or the Ludwig LC16HH to help lighten the load. I hate noise coming from hat stands is why I use lever-glide. What is the noise like after 5 years on the chain/pedal please?
Absolutely adore the look and practicality of these stands. Do you think there’s any chance they’d be able to withstand a Tom hanging from them? A 10” and a 12” respectively.
Great video, have been looking at this set myself, mostly because I need to replace my hardware case at the moment and while this set is more expensive than a case, the fact that I could replace my hardware bag and lighten my load for future self at the same time seems a good trade off. 1 question if you don't mind, how tall is the hihat stand? I sit fairly high, and i like a hihat stand that has height. I have good experience with both yamaha and pearl gear and always find pearls have plenty of height while yamahas lack height. Would be able to advise? Also, if you are looking to mount a tom. Tama do a classic Tom/Snare stand in the same series they sell seperately, I have it and it goes super high, almost like a concert snare stand.
Great review! I just wanted to add my support to your findings, having owned a set for around 4 years (where did that go??) I have the same issue with the cymbal stands rotating, but haven't lost any feet thank goodness. I bought the tom stand which I use for my Gretsch Brooklyn 12x8 and it's the only basket stand I've ever used that hasn't reduced the resonance one bit. I have no idea why, but it makes the tom sound amazing. The only issue is it doesn't quite go low enough for me, but it's only slight. Anyway, the set is VERY light and portable as well as strong and reliable. Is it super sturdy? Of course not, but that's a price I'm very willing to pay for the convenience, not to mention the good looks. The Yamaha Cross Town is probably stiffer, but looks terrible IMO, so I saved the money and went with this set. Haven't looked back and would buy the same again if anything happened to it.
Take a rubber foot from one of your other cymbal stands and put it on your hat stand. The hat stand takes more impact and use with your foot on it and a cymbal stand should slide around just from hitting the cymbal. Unless of course you don't use the hat stand.
I’m thinking of getting one of these cymbal stands for percussion. Would a splash (maybe a small crash instead in the figure) on top with a lightweight clamp to hold 1 or 2 cowbells and a tambourine work?
I tried them both extensively before settling on the Crosstown. The Crosstown is simpler and much more solid feeling than the Tama. There was no comparison in terms of feel. Cheers. @@Gabrielalves-tt5kr
