I've been playing them this way since 1980-81, based on Chester Thompson's setup when he played with Genesis and Phil Collins. Off topic, but the cymbals are also loose and have lots of play.
In more than 40 years of playing, I have yet to crack a cymbal.

That's a cool set up. It looks straight up rock and roll! I'm not sure that it would work for me, but maybe I'll give it a go sometime.
Looks like a cool venue by the way...Cool1
