The straight stand is a little wobbly with a tom(12") mounted to it. It's not going anywhere though. The rest of the hardware is solid. Well made.... just wish the straight stand was a little more heavy duty.

Do buy.

I bought this hardware pack a month or 2 ago and found it to be stylish/good looking and was rather functional. But, the big point is, this is not really "full size" hardware (some of it). You may guess that by the price, but don't worry if you don't need much more than occasional gigging and lightweight practice gear. If you are starting out, definately consider this pack!

The hi-hat stand (especially the base) was smaller than my stock one on my kit, but the attatchment rod is acceptably long. The straight cymbal stand does it's job well, just not for a constant metal music assault if that's you. The snare stand is that new off-set tilter style which works well with any setup but this one wobbles too easy. The bass pedal is fine (especially with the quick and easy new style beater head) but i have a double kick setup already so i don't use it much.

The felts and joints are decent, and it is a good hardware pack for a smaller drum set or drummer. You may want to just put your hundred bucks toward buying nicer separate hi-hat stands and cymbal stands - which i am now. Hope this helps.

I think this set is great for people who just play around and don't do anything serious. The stands are very light weight, and it doesn't take much for me to knock my cymbal over from normal play. The hi-hat stand is alright, the snare stand has little need for it to be heavy, but the straight crash stand isn't heavy enough to hold its own, especially if your drummer does a lot of hard hitting. Not a bad set, just not something I'd rely on for more than backup stands. Save up and get heavier stands so you don't have to replace your cymbals from them falling to the ground and cracking.
