best 3 hole clamp/platform ??? yamaha , pearl ax-38 or ....?

hi!
I'm looking for the sturdiest clamp/platform to hang two floor toms. I don't care about brand, looks or weigth. all the pipes I'm going to use are 22mm (7/8) which is the standard , so any platform will also get the job done.
I did some reserch and I think that these onse are the best ones , but I'm open to any suggestion.

sorry I couldn't find an actual pic of the yamaha platform, but is like the one I've posted but without the pipe

I haven't tried the Pearl, but I own the Yamaha one. Although I don't use it for hanging giant toms, Yamaha makes excellent hardware and it's designed to do just that. It's double braced, has some weight to it, and is thus very sturdy.

I always always always recommend Yamaha hardware for pretty much everything; they don't cut corners.

Edit
Here's an image of mine, holding up the 12" and 14" toms and a cymbal arm.


And here it is on my new kit holding a 12" and two cymbals.

I had two of the 900 series Yamaha double tom stands which had three hole receivers before I switched to the Hexrack. I usually just had one tom and two cymbals per stand, one of which was a mounted 16" but I had occasionally mounted both my 14" and 16" off of one stand just for kicks. I think what makes the Yamaha double tom stand more rigid is the way their tripod is designed.



These things are sturdy as they come and don't tip over. They have a naturally low center of gravity. I have never seen this style of tripod from another manufacturer.

I'm really happy with my Pearl
Here it is holding 3 traveler toms
and in another use it is holding two heavy cast hoop toms and an clamp stand that is holding an 18 inch med weight crash/ride cymbal.

Don't forget this one. Although its been discontinued, you could easily make your own by just chopping off your tube.

that's actually what I was planing to do.

thanks for all the answers, now I'm leaning to the yamaha but I'm still listening

Yamaha.
No muss, no fuss with this one. I'd put a memory lock under it to make sure the ft's don't go sliding down....
