I miss the Red/Black Yamaha "system" stands from the mid 80's.
It all worked together, the pieces were thought out, the mounts were on the drum and didn't inhibit resonance OR cover the drum up with chrome.
The cymbal stand post was IN LINE with the tubes, so where the center of the stand was, that was the center of the cymbal.
Every bolt, screw and wing nut was comfortable in your hand, and did what it was supposed to do (stay put).
I hated Yanaha's change to the off-set tilters.
I'd like to see a return of the adjustable style ride/splash cymbal mount Rogers used to have. That was pretty cool.
The Rogers stick holder was awesome too.
