Re: Hardware suggestions for a vintage Slingerland light blue pearl kit?
Hey Keith, Welcome to Drum Chat!!
Interstate happens to be my local drum shop, so I'm over there quite a bit. Union is their house brand, and they're not bad. They also have drum bags by Union that are pretty decent. If budget is a serious issue, you'll probably be okay with those.
However, if you're gigging quite a bit, I would personally go with something a little bit more heavy duty. I'm transporting gear constantly, and most of the higher end double braced hardware is really heavy. However, with my Yamahas I use the 700 series hardware. It's single braced, but might be the sturdiest single braced hardware I've ever seen.
That would be my recommendation - the 700 series hi hat stand is actually my favorite out of the 3 that I own too.
As far as the pedal, I don't think you can go wrong with a Speed King. Durable? I know guys who have used them for 30 years and they still work fine.
