As to the original question----
I've been using DW 6000 series straight cymbal, and snare stand (for tom) for a couple years, and I've not had one single issue with any of it.
I even use a 24" ride cymbal that I crash, and the stand stays put just fine. I play pretty hard at times in my different bands, & have no issues at all with these stands.
The tube size are not tiny, but are small-ish (7/8, 3/4, 1/2). Great stands, 5 stars from me.
Ludwig's new Atlas stands have basically the same diams (but a slightly larger top tube diam.), so I doubt they'd go anywhere either.
I have a bunch of those on order (selling 2 snares took care of the bill!).
I'm also trying out the Atlas FB hat stand.
It's got the same tube diam as the DW 2 legger I'm using now, so if it's not wobbly (like the DW FB hat stand is) with this new leg clamping thing, and with the tube size, I'll buy it.
The FB Atlas snare stand has an infinite angle basket too, which is nicer than the DW stands geared basket I have now. The DW 6000 works great, but having the drum in exactly the spot I want is a better option.
I am selling a bunch of my double braced cymbal stands. I just don't use them anymore.
Once I get the Atlas stands, I'm putting the DW FB stands on my rehearsal kit.
I still use a larger stand for the snare because the single braced stand moved on me a bit. Just don't wanna deal with it, so I accepted another lb. or two. For one stand, big deal.
When you can have 3 stands in 1 hand, and they ALL feel like they weigh as much as ONE of the others....
Carrying the hardware case up/down my walkout stairs is easy now.
