Re: Another Pearl stand bites the dust !!
The only Pearl "hardware" I own is a snare stand and a Demon direct drive pedal. No problems with either, but the snare stand is just so darn heavy (weight wise).
I don't care for the looks or weight of their tube-arm mounts, but they've always been extremely reliable and solid for me.
Looking at the pics of the bushing above, it looks to me like an acceptable design, but poor material. It's designed so the plastic does all flexing, which is fine, but that requires the proper plastic that will tolerate the repeated flexing and fatigue. Sometimes stuff like that happens when suppliers change, items go out for low bid, etc.. The big air bag recall of the auto industry is a prime example.
