[@BrendrumJones]

Hey, you’re more than welcome, thanks for watching 👀

[@x-town7007]

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.

[@BrendrumJones]

Thanks, yeah im very happy with them.

[@hadrienlormiez3254]

Been using them for 3 years, almost no scratch at all :) :) :)

[@BrendrumJones]

Yeah im very happy with them

[@RVADrummer]

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?

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.

[@BrendrumJones]

Defo, i agree matt, thanks for the info

[@GUIDESPERSPECTIVE]

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.

[@jeffhuett101]

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.

[@BrendrumJones]

Hey, maybe a 10'' but i don't know where you will find a clamp small enough to attach to the stand

[@daviewavie112]

If you want a light weight stand that is regular sized and that a clamp will fit on look at the Yamaha crosstown

[@iiDrum123]

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.

[@BrendrumJones]

Hey, I can’t give you the exact night but it seemed to me that it’s no bigger or smaller than an average HH stand

[@awesomefanger]

Tama actually makes a taller snare stand to hold a tom.

[@BrendrumJones]

Thanks for that, Have you a name for it, or a link?

[@LeakyJAZZ]

@@BrendrumJones tama "the classic" series single tom stand

[@ikke323]

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?

[@diegoillarra]

Hi! I've been thinking about getting these hardware, do you think cymbal stands can handle a 22 ride?

[@BrendrumJones]

Oh yeah definitely, I use a 21 with no bother at all

[@DwightImelJr]

I crash ride a 24” on mine all the time.

[@CharlesTPrimm]

These combined with Yamaha's Crosstowns are the best. (However the Yamaha Crosstown hi-hat stand is MUCH superior than the TAMA.)

[@Gabrielalves-tt5kr]

Why you say so? (Im really torn between one and the other) do you have fist hand experience with both?

[@CharlesTPrimm]

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

[@sistew4]

Glue will also resolve your loose stand tightening knob…

[@Dsullivann]

Are the cymbal stands able to carry a mounted tom without them falling over? I have dw lightweight hardware that cant

[@BrendrumJones]

I wouldn't say they would fall over, however they are very thin so i don't think you would find a clamp to work.
