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.
I bought this set a few years back after seeing this review. Totally agree its good value good quality and functional. And its very light. I added the Classic bass drum pedal from Tama just to complete the set and I love that for its feel, speed adjustability & convenience in transport too.
04:26 Where are the Sleeve ? 😱 For my part, I have been using this new hardware for a year on around sixty concerts. The + -I reduced the weight of my bag in half compared to my Tama Road Pro stand kit, even adding a straight stand and a basket for my tom instead of a stand ! -The look is great, and I also reduced my space on stage thanks to the flat feet. Very practical for playing in certain clubs where space is limited. THE - -Yes, the rubber pads on the hi-hat stand are easily removed. -The metal cup where the felt rests to accommodate the cymbal produces an unwanted noise when vibrating on the stand. This is especially noticeable when using mallets to perform cymbal rises. -The protective sleeves against the keyholes supplied with the stands were completely sheared in two after a year of concerts. The rubber is too soft to withstand the swinging of the cymbals. The solution To remedy these two problems, I purchased Gibraltar SC-19B sleeves. Result: no more unwanted noise, and the cymbals are perfectly protected in the long term thanks to this rigid plastic.
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 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.
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.
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?
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 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

Bought this set as sons as it came out and it has been flawless with absolutely no issues to report
Great video! Loved it, thanks for sharing!

They had plastic one I think but they didn’t last long
Been using them for 3 years, almost no scratch at all :) :) :)
Yeah im very happy with them
thank you for sharing your opinion a really useful video !
Hey, you’re more than welcome, thanks for watching 👀
Great vid, straight to the point without the yada yada

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

Defo, i agree matt, thanks for the info
What snare stand do you have supporting your pactice pad? Looks a lot more heavy duty, double-braced.
Hello 👋🏻, I did a review on it, it’s here Gibraltar Snare Stand Review
ruclips.net/video/oHJST2IFT0s/видео.html
I like it , very heavy but quality
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.
Hey, maybe a 10'' but i don't know where you will find a clamp small enough to attach to the stand
If you want a light weight stand that is regular sized and that a clamp will fit on look at the Yamaha crosstown
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?
Until you can find a replacement, the missing rubber foot can be mostly substituted by multiple layers of shrink tubing.
Cool, thanks for that, I got them but I had to go searching for awhile and the company had to order them in
Hi! I've been thinking about getting these hardware, do you think cymbal stands can handle a 22 ride?
Oh yeah definitely, I use a 21 with no bother at all
I crash ride a 24” on mine all the time.
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.
Tama actually makes a taller snare stand to hold a tom.
Thanks for that, Have you a name for it, or a link?
@@BrendrumJones tama "the classic" series single tom stand
Are the cymbal stands able to carry a mounted tom without them falling over? I have dw lightweight hardware that cant
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.
Snare stand should go higher to match up with 24" bass drum toms better.
@@tripacer2005 I agree, and you can come upon some problems if you have a piccolo
These combined with Yamaha's Crosstowns are the best. (However the Yamaha Crosstown hi-hat stand is MUCH superior than the TAMA.)
Why you say so? (Im really torn between one and the other) do you have fist hand experience with both?
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
Glue will also resolve your loose stand tightening knob…
Tama hardware is great, but Yamaha crosstown ligh drum hardware is the best by far i.m.o.
Maybe I’ve never used them, however crosstown are hideous looking in my opinion.
They coped design after Ludwigs 1960s Hardware
Yeah maybe
