Am in the market for a hi hat stand, am looking for a DW. Looked at the Iron Cobra, but my current stand is the Tama Road Pro, and i'm really not impressed. (I understand that the Iron Cobra will be a step up, and I have the cobra bass drum pedal along with a DW 9000, and like it).
So having weighed up the options, I've tried doing some research, but the DW hardware model numbers don't seem to correspond with higher quality. Except for the 9000 being the top of the range. I have the money to splash on the 9000, but am wondering whether the difference in performance justifies nearly a hundred quid more.
So my options are thus:
DW 5000 - sposed to be really good and sub £200. Good build quality, but looks like the 8000 and 9000. Is it worth going cheaper?
DW 8000 - from what I can tell it's a heavy duty stand designed for being toured and repeatedly set up. But if I spend the amount on this, might as well go the whole hog, no?
Which brings me to:
DW 9000 – Now this gets tricky. Looking on line and there are two 9000 model numbers and the pictures look the same so I’m struggling to tell the difference between the DW 9000 and the DW 9500 TB, apart from £80.
So I ask, oh wise sages of drummerworld, please inform me as to your findings so as I get value for money.
