so I've decided to wait until next spring on buying a car, and get new drums now. I have decided on the Gretsch Catalina Club Mod 4-Piece shell pack:
one thing though: since the shell pack comes with a virgin bass drum, it also comes with a Gibraltar single tom mount that allows you to mount the rack tom from a cymbal stand. however, I'm not sure if any of my cymbal stands are heavy-duty enough to hold both a cymbal and a tom, and I would hate for the stand to tip over while playing and wreck my cymbal and tom. the stand I would be mounting it from is an entry-level Ludwig straight stand that would also hold a 17" Sabian AA Fast crash.
my questions are: will the entry-level Ludwig stand and the tom mount hold a 17" cymbal and a 12"x8" tom safely? or should I buy another snare stand and put the tom on that?
and, if getting another snare stand is the case, any recomendations on a low-cost but sturdy snare stand I could use as a tom stand?
thanks for all your help.
P.S. if you need to see a pic of the Ludwig cymbal stand, click the link in my signature to see pics of my current kit. (It's the stand that has the Sabian cymbal on it)
