I bought these to replace Pearl medium duty stands and hi-hat gear. The pluses: VERY well made, and very high quality. They are indeed very light weight. Using my digital scales, they weigh roughly half of what my stand steel stand weigh. My only complaint: Due to the slightly "textured" finish of the aluminum stands, there is a lot of friction in the plastic collar that surrounds the tube (that permits the legs to slide on the tube and collapse when putting up and breaking down). There is a learning curve to how to position the stands in order to get the legs to move when setting up. Otherwise, perfect. You may also want to check out DW's light-weight set (I opted for Yamaha as I do not care for flat-bottom hardware as in DW's offering).

Compromise is expected, there are no boom stands. I’ve grown accustomed to a nice ball socket tilter on my snare. Also the hi-hat needs to be disassembled to fit in the provided bag, it’s time consuming, and the hi-hat legs do not rotate to accommodate double bass drum pedals. One other issues is the included caring bag is not wide enough to carry a rug for set up. That being said, these stands are very nice, quality, lightweight stands that do the job they were intended to do. Lightweight & compact, for my Jazz gigs they definitely fill the bill.

The Yamaha Crosstown hardware is super lightweight. I was surprised at how sturdy everything feels for not being double-braced or heavy. I also like that the stands can can be customized by switching the plastic gaskets. The only reason I am not giving the hardware pack a 5-star rating is because I think it would be better if they included a boom stand option. But I do plan to swap out the upper straight section and use another model Yamaha boom, since the pieces are all interchangeable.

Excellent replacement for my heavy heavy trap case full of stands . I’ve downsized tremendously lately in drums and I researched the lightweight drum stand world . These things are awesome; light , compact , and the engineering is amazing! Tiny drums and all straight cymbal stands .
