If the cymbal tilters was able to swivel so it wasn't in line with the curve then they'd have something useful and unique.

I don’t own any of these, but I’m led to believe you can move the the tilter basically anywhere along the rod you like, and add more filters as well.

It’s the proverbial get around your ass to reach your elbow stand. Jeez seems self explanatory LOL

I'm not a fan of the mini boom/extension the movable tilter adds. Not that I'm in the market for any of these, I've got plenty of cymbal booms.

It does. The Gyrolock tilter is just like a ball mount.
I think someone had to do it befor D.W. did. It has everyone scrambling at Drumworkshop for 2003 ideas now. 😃.I just stumbled across this, and I just have to ask… WHY????
I can’t think of a single reason to have a curved boom arm, but maybe some Pearl user can shed some light on me.

That’s right. “INFINITE angle adjustability”.

Stands don’t excite me, and never have. But for those who get excited by them, I suppose this will be fun for them. I do like the idea of a ball cymbal tilter, though I don’t think I need it. But for those who do care about such things, looks like a fun way to jazz up your look.

That's where we differ. I think it looks absolutely gimmicky/cheesy. Like the drummer in question is trying way too hard to look "cool" — which, as we all know, is never cool.
Mom, my bass drum is out of round!
And are they trying to facilitate bass drum creep with those wheels?
I'm still trying to wrap my head around that bass drum. Look at the counter hoop? And the head! Why would they do that?
OK quick, do triplets on each tom at top speed! Obstacles shouldn't matter! I love tacked on reso heads. They are so easy to tune!
The small tom is supposed to be where the big tom is. A pinstripe on the snare and calf on the toms and bass? OK.
I think Chick Webb liked the pins.
@Hannahsketchbook His BD beater is hitting to low too
At least the cymbal has plenty of room to swing
That is one funky looking bass drum.

It looks to me like the arms can be used so they're arching downward, which definitely could reach where a straight boom can't.
