Totti, I've done it both ways. It all depends on exactly where I want the cymbals. I simply use whatever stands give me the ability to place things correctly. Right now, I've got my ride on a straight stand, but I'm thinking about moving things around and eliminating a stand. My guess is that I'll end up with everything on boom stands with an extra boom arm clamped to a stand. BTW, I've placed my ride directly to my right before, and now I have it just off to the right of the 12" ride tom. Hey, it may stay there, or it may move again. One thing is for sure - I'll move things around until I get things exactly the way I like them, but if I add anything, I'm sure they'll move again and I'll use whatever stands I need!
