Crosstown Snare Stand for Tom

[StatesboroBlue]

Anyone using the Yamaha Crosstown snare stand for rack tom?

 

[Blisco]

Works great for light and heavy toms. Both of these are 9X13.

 

[repete]

I have. No issues.

I figured it probably would be fine. Tama did a separate stand for toms. I assume the differences are with height.

 

[Steech]

No issues for me!

Are there memory locks with these or locks you can buy after-market that will work?

 

[JazzyJeff]

I choose not too. I’ve used the Crosstown a couple of times and was always uncomfortable with the seeming lack of stability. So, all my hardware is light except for my throne base and Tom stand (DW9000 hydraulic).

Works great for me as a tom stand!

I prefer the Tama Classic tom stand because it can get in tighter to the bass drum and more into the position I want the rack tom . All that being said , I far prefer a tom mount on the bass drum to any kind of stand for the rack tom .

My issues with the Tama snare stand is that the arms are locking up--flashbacks to 5th grade band. It truly is a copy of a Ludwig stand. The Classic HH failed, and that has me looking at replacing it. Loved that stand, but two years under light playing and no set up and tear down to speak of has me wary of replacing with same model. I like the flatbase stuff, and it has been a fun experience. I am going back to tripod stuff.

It's a virgin kick, and drilling it for a mount isn't something I can do myself. So, I will stick with using a snare stand for the tom.

The Tama Classic line has a dedicated tom stand.

My first thought was "why?" Snare stands have been used as tom stands going way back. My second thought was "maybe as it might generate more income." Now I am back to what could be done to make the dedicated tom stand a money-maker? What would be involved in R&D to sell the suckers on the idea that a dedicated tom stand would somehow be better than using a plain Jane snare stand?" My first thought was to incorporate features that allowed the drum to resonate freely. Much of that is already done with lightweight stands, and I suspect the drummers most likely to go for a dedicated tom stand are looking at lightweight stuff to begin with. The Tama The Classics series already has a dedicated tom stand. I didn't do that model because the snare stand did what I wanted. Other than additional height capability, the stands appeared to be the same to me.

The DW 9399 stand does incorporate some features to increase resonance, and it looks like it might increase stability as well. They call it a snare/tom stand, but it certainly seems to be made for a tom.

"The 9399 is our first snare basket stand designed specifically to hold rack toms. Each crutch tip includes an integrated Neoprene® isolator for optimal resonance. The stand also offers a patented removable, offset basket for easy positioning and quick snare changes. The larger footprint is courtesy of a Mega-Tripod™ base that gives the 9399 the largest footprint of any DW snare stand. The result is a heavy-duty, road-worthy stand that gently supports rack toms and snare drums from 10-16" in diameter."

The Rogers one is basically a snare stand but with a different tilter to allow for easier tom positioning.

Tama makes the tom version of the Classic snare stand, which is the same basket, but taller and with flat legs. They also have the single tom stand that uses a snare stand base.

Anyone using the Yamaha Crosstown snare stand for rack tom?

Yes. On the RC.

The Club’s too.

And that rack tom was so light it coild have toppeled over much easier.

And I play hard.

Don’t break your back on needless heavy stands.

that way i get 2 birds stoned at once ...

I bought mine two years ago. I either missed the options for bases on the tom stand or they then weren't available. I hadn't seen the offerings from DW and Rogers.

On their website it's listing under tom stands instead of snare stands. I actually tried one, but it didn't go low enough for my set up.
