Been exploring new hardware lately. Recently purchased a DW Ultralight snare stand and am impressed. From a strictly value perspective the Tama Classic snare stand is a better deal, but I also love the DW stand (just not the additional $40 pricetag ... but that's just me.) Here are a few more purchases (recent and future) starting with the future one:
I have firmly committed to @Drum Gear Review to purchase his Speed Cobra 910 pedal when I am in his neck of the woods at the end of this month. Here is the link, and this is why the listing says "Pending". https://www.drumforum.org/threads/sale-pending-tama-speed-cobra-910-single-pedal.189649/
Next, arriving later this week is this pair of Pearl hardware that piqued my interest. I love lightweight stuff and I am sure I will not be disappointed:
As usual, I will write reviews on Amazon after they arrive and I have some quality time with them.
A side note about bass drum pedals: I am strictly heel down and do straight quarter notes 75% of the time - and feather those often. Just about any bass drum pedal suits my playing style. Hi hat stands are a little different. I am not pedantic about them, but am less forgiving of their performance than I am of bass drum pedals. I am borderline pedantic about snare drum stands: they need to be light, compact and capable of a wide range of height adjustments. The Tama Classic and DW Ultralight are examples of what I consider superb. At the opposite end of the spectrum is this POS (I won't spell out the initials):
The older flush base DW snare stand is not far behind that POS one.
