DW, while expensive, makes great flush-base cymbal and hi hat stands. I've also used Gibraltar stands, too. I second the opinion of a previous post about those funky, but functional, rubber feet on the new Ludwig Atlas Classic stands! Another excellent option is the Pearl BC-100S boom cymbal stand. The base is convertible from flush-base to tripod. I use two of these stands with my custom Pearl kit. Great stands! http://www.pearldrum.com/products/hardware/boom-cymbal-stands/bc-100s.aspx

We haven't got the Ludwig Atlas series weights yet.

Brought to you by ThomasL who initiated the project, and Zenstat who has a certain affinity (some say nerdiness) with numbers.

If somebody measures the weights of the Ludwig Atlas stuff, post it here and I'll snaffle it into the database.

I have a set of the DW flush base and have used them for 10 years thet are great, strong and light my only small niggle is that the snare stand can get a bit caught up with the bass pedal and hi hat otherwise I love em

I just got 3 flat-base DW stands and tried them out last night. They are surprisingly sturdy, super light and I really like the low profile look with a vintage kit. I'm a fan!

Thats a sweet kit mate! Yes those stands look great with it. I have the same in Champ Sparkle with those stands. Unless you need double braced for hanging multi clamps etc, these stands do the job and don't break your back. And they DON'T fall over even when I'm going hell for leather on my 24" ride. If anyone gets one to fall over in a gig then they need to check they're technique and get some lessons.

Regarding the comment about the DW 6300 snare stand base getting in the way of the bass pedal and hi hat stand: I completely agree. My solution (contrary to the "don't ever modify drum stuff for collectability's sake" logic) was to get out the hack saw and chop off 1.5" from each leg. Put the rubber feet back on, and problem solved.

I have the 6700 cymbal stands, and I love them! Big cymbals and heavy hitting don't phase them. Just don't break the plastic tilter arm when you toss it in your case.

The 6500 hi hat stand, like the rest of the 6000 line, has gone through several iterations, and I can say that the earliest 2-leg version (a la mid-60s Camco) are rubbish. Unless you like your hats rocking back and forth as your left foot keeps time. The first 3-leg generation was an improvement, and the more recent 3-leg design (distinguished by the presence of a radius rod) is pretty nice IMO. That being said, I prefer the 7000 series hi hat stand- still single braced, not excessively beefy. And I prefer my late-60s Camco (non-flush) hi hat over my DW 7500....

I have been playing the DW 6000 series since they came out. I use the snare stand for my 8x12, 9x13, or even my 10x14 toms but I can't use it for a snare because the wide flat base gets in the way. There is a narrower version but it's still in the way. Other than that I love them. I use them with my modern kits (Ayotte, Fibes) as well as my vintage kits. All my DW 9000 series stands are now in my studio. Great sturdy stands that will last forever but heavy as hell and BIG.
