I'm going to buy 3 XP 120 pads, and 2 PCY cymbals 1 crash and 1 ride, along with the RHH hi hat and the KP bass drum, so it will be a 4 piece kit.
I feel that a rack will look like overkill, so I figure that stands would look more minimal. I would like to be able to accommodate both the toms and cymbals with 2 stands. But I'm aware that only 2 stands can be very restricting regarding positioning, using regular multi clamps, tom holders and booms. I know that four stands would be ideal, for complete flexibility, but I'm trying to avoid having so much hardware if I can.
I can't find any Yamaha hardware that might provide an elegant solution to my dilemma, but while on the Yamaha Facebook site I saw a pic of Praire Prince on tour with Todd Rundgen, and playing the DTX 950. He has a very interesting array of hardware, particularly the enormously long ratchet adjustable booms on his stands.
So I'm hoping that someone can identify these booms, and tell me what they're called, and where I might be able to get them, as they would allow me to use just 2 stands and get the flexibility that I need.
I'm quietly dreading the fact that everyone and his monkey knows what they are, and can't believe that someone has the cheek to post on this forum asking such an obvious question, but in my search for the Holy Grail of hardware, I must be humble.
