I just donated away my factory rack and got these stands cheap used from Guitar Center. Feels more solid. No snare slipping. And adjustments from and to any position
take a second.
That looks awesome - I love the look of e-drums on stands and have wanted to do it with my kit for a while - but - THE WIRES!
I would need to find some way of having them not hanging... maybe run M-F extensions down the stands (neatly - ossibly even light coloured cables?) to the floor and plug the loom wires in at floor level - can then find some way to nicely manage the wires on the floor.

TD-11 module | DTXplorer rack | 3 x tp65 | 12" millenuim mesh head snare | cy-5, pcy65s and pcy150 cymbals | fd8 hh | krigg kick trigger w/ mapex raptor pedal.
I like the look too. My TD-11 rack was slipping alot. It felt loose.
And wouldn't fit in the back seat.
The DW stands are the tri mounts. They had some used at the local Guitar Center.
The one over the hi hat looks really clean.
It's a home kit. So I paid no attention at all to wires. You could clip them to the
stands pretty easy. Those velcro strips from the hardware store would work pretty good.
You have to switch the L rods out for the Gibraltar 10.5 MM ones. They slip in perfect
though.
You could gig pretty easy with this. It all fits in one rolling hardware bag.
But I don't gig e-drums.

I have my TD-9 set up on two Gibraltar Quad Stands and all of the brains on a Roland stand with some other Gibby hardware. I painted all the cables silver and run them down the pipe to a Planet Waves DB-25 snake. It makes setup fast and also neatens up the spaghetti monster of cables. I've got pictures on the Kit Pix thread somewhere.

I used a Krylon Metallic Silver spray paint. So far it is holding up nicely but I haven't traveled that much with my kit. You have to be careful as some brands of paint don't stick to cables. The Home Depot paint person recommended a paint that I later had to take off and then reapply the Krylon (which Home Depot doesn't carry - I had to go to a hobby store).
