I got a Mapex Qr series drum set(2 years old), and i recently purchased new pearl hardware, I used to Yamaha hardware) but i purchased the BC-2000 Boom stands, s-2000 snare stand, h-2000 high hat stand, and a c-70 w cymbal stand.
I'm not a big fan of pearl drums
, but i admit there hardware is worth the investment.
With the boom stands it has a 360 degree range of motion, anti-rattle ( great for recording),
Just a great product. It's really sturdy and i have my toms mounted on the stands and it does not tilt or lean back, i don't have to strecht the legs, nothing like that. Pearl really did it for themselves!
