I'm also looking into lighter hardware etc. I need to save on weight for transporting and setting up and down for gigs without losing quality and sound quality??
My suggestion is to call Yamaha Drums Support @ 714-522-9000 and choose Option 3 ... and they should be able to give you the specific weight of each drum and the weight of the stands -- Their single braced stands is all Ive ever used since 1992 and no failures with any of the stands as I was using them while I was playing in numerous road bands and playing 6 nights per week, loading and unloading, setting up and tearing down.
Yamaha Oak Custom 22x17 with Brass Kick Port, Brass Hoop Claws,10-12-14 racks, 16 Floor and all toms have Brass Hoops and a Tama Starclassic Bubinga Elite 14x6.5 snare in Quilted Mocha Burst and Black Nickel hardware. All hi-end Zildjian Cymbals - K Dark Thin crashes & splashes, a Zildjian A crash & a Meinl 16" crash, Avedis Zildjian 1964 ride, K Custom hats plus New Beat hats on Closed X-Hat.
