    Solid as a rock.

    It is a very balanced way of mounting too.

    But even if it wasn't, one of the best things of Yamaha hardware is that is indestructible and rock solid.

    The single (but actually quite heavy compared to other single braced stands) braced stand can hold up large toms, cymbals, and percussion at the same time without even flinching.

    I'm still trying to find a way to have matching Black Chrome hardware, I have some options and I have to see what is the right way price wise too.

    I've played but never owned DW drums and the only thing I can really say about any of there hardware is that they do have probably the best tom suspension mounting system out there!

    DW does have a Kit Builder but its currently "under construction". I think they are improving it so I had to use the Mapex App. LOL

    There have been several Motherships for sure LOL. This one is "Officially" Mothership 3. This is the first drumset I have ever ordered where i got the exact drum sizes I wanted. I was able to plan the build and order exactly what i wanted.

    I managed to fab up my Pearl Tri-Bells and a splash cymbal today. I need a better solution for mounting that splash. LOL. I used considerable brain power coming up with that. The splash is connected to a hi-hat clutch on a DW hi hat rod in a clamp. It’s all I had but there is too much hardware. Gotta scale it back somehow.

    I have something from Gibraltar today that should solve the problem. I will take another pic when it arrives.

    So here is how i finally was able to mount the splash cymbal above the Tri-Bells. This is the cleanest way to do it i think.





    I had to use a grinder and grind down the diameter of that rod so the hi-hat clutch would fit on it but i think it turned out nice. I"m not even sure where i got that piece from.

    I ordered a few of these from Gibraltar as additional mounting points for cymbals or other items and tried to make one of these work but it wasn't as clean a setup.

    I like it. Your crash cymbal spacing is very OCD. That looks like a very fun kit to play. Love the K's.
