I currently have a cheesy cheap v-Drum kit. Over the past month or so I have been replacing some of the components with Roland products (1 x PDX-8, 3 x PD-8) and will be replacing / adding cymbals in the near future.
I have 2 problems with my current rack. First, it a piece of junk, it doesn't have a lower cross brace so it can be rather unstable. It also lacks a dedicated arm on the left to be used for the snare or Brain/HH so pad placement is a pain and I'm running out of room on the rack. I don't want to drop another $60+ into this rack and purchase additional components when I can get a better rack for not much more.
I was thinking of purchasing a Roland MDS-3C as a replacement stand as these seem very easy to come across on e-bay. Are there any major issues with these stands or a better option?
The two things that are important to me in selecting is:
1. Size: I need to be able to move the kit easily, so something like the MDS-12 or even MDS-9 is out of the picture.
2. Sturdiness: I don't want to drop more $$$ into my kit to end up with a rack that will just fall apart or not be very stable.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
