Best stands

2011-06-14 by niclinn75

Hi everyone

I've just acquired a battered sds9 brain and pads (black) all in a bit of a state and needing a bit of TLC!
I've taken the shells off and am having them professionally sprayed yellow :) the brain is with a technician friend getting fixed, I just need to buy some stands (I got a frame with it but its in bad condition and i never liked the frames, much prefer the stands)

what are the best stands? what are the ones used in this picture are they just regular pearl double tom stands?

I saw these on ebay , just not sure the tom arm reach is as long

Both will work. Original Pearl stands appear on Ebay at reasonable rates from time to time. I recently checked those: http://www.musicstore.de/en_EN/GBP/Fame-Double-Tom-Stand-DTS9000-for-Pearl-toms/art-DRU0017469-000
I assume they are pretty much the same that those you have linked to (apart from the cymbal arm) and just appear under several brands. The quality is quite ok. In fact much better than the original crappy Simmons stands :-P
"Best" is not easy to answer: Simmons pads are rather light so there is not really a need for double braced legs

Hi
 
when I bought my SDS-8 set here in New Zealand in the mid 80's, it came with Pearl hardware, the double-braced leg variety the same as in the picture.  These were adequate and sturdy.
 
regards,
 
Gwyn
