For those of you who have DW kits and virgin bass drums, and play two rack toms, I've been wondering the following:
Do you mount your two rack toms using those tom/cymbal stands as shown here: http://www.guitarcenter.com/DW-Performance-Series-5-Piece-Shell-Pack-107434169-i2341573.gc
And if so, what are the pros/cons of this kind of tom mounting? I've always plays kits that mount the two rack toms to the bass drum. The DW style of the tom/cymbal stand seems cool, but the stands look incredibly heavy, requiring double braced stands. I've been trying to LIGHTEN my hardware using single braced cymbal stands. But does it all come out in the wash, since you now wouldn't be carrying a tom stand that goes into the bass drum?
Just curious, for those that use this kind of mounting system, what your experience has been with it.
Thanks...
