These look SOOOOOO COOL, but seem SOOOOOO EXPENSIVE.

I like the snare stand, but I'm not a big fan of the double tom mount stand. The last thing I would want is my rack toms rotating out of position while being played. I always very much like stability in my drums.

Bah, don't diss the tunebot! You're just jealous that it's prettier than you are. :]I'll put these in the corner with the pneumatic bearing edges and the tune bot
I think I'm actually offended by the level of marketing BS in that video. Hay guys, my stands already go up and down, and rotate too. Yes, geniuses, pretty much every stand ever made lets you rotate the top and base independently. That isnt a feature! And if you have to bend down to clamp it, what is the point of the thing? I can already bend down, unclamp, raise, and reclamp my snare stand.
It has the same clamps though, the only thing about the airlift that is different is that the stand rises up when the clamp is off.
Yeah, and like I said, if you have to crawl under/behind it to loosen a wingnut, you've defeated the purpose of the device in the first place, as at that point it isn't really easier to deal with than any other stand.The FIRST thing that May did was loosen that wingnut

To all the "why would you want your toms to rotate freely" people.....didn't any of you see the standard wingnut for adjusting the height on the base of the stand??? The FIRST thing that May did was loosen that wingnut (like you would do with ANY stand) to raise the stand.
Can you please give me the exact time when you saw him loosening the wingnut. I just looked at it again and didn't see his hands touching it. Not to be augmentative because I wouldn't purchase the stand anyway, but I would just like to see what you did.

1:33 and 4:50 for the snare stand.
The tom stand's wing nut was never touched and it should be obvious that it was not clamped.
And at ~2:06 Randall May, locks down the snare stand and says something like, "And now you can lock it down."
This is what I was saying about the wingnut on the double tom stand, no one ever loosened it on camera and the tom mounts wanted to turn on their own. I like the idea behind the snare stand since the locking mechanism is very easy to reach.
