Yamaha HW-680W Double-Braced Hardware Pack

These stands are sturdy and high-quality. For my drum set that never leaves the room, they have been great. If you are playing out and loading equipment a lot, then maybe you want to look for a lighter hardware, but these are definitely worth the money.

Son herrajes de buena calidad, cómo todo lo que me ha tocado experimentar con la marca Yamaha. Muy satisfecho cona compra.

This hardware is elegant, simple, very sturdy and just plain works. Everything does what it is supposed to and does it with no fuss. Yamaha really knows how to build hardware. The elbow and tilting joints are high quality castings and not stamped metal like many other stands. For being single-braced, the stands are easily as stable and sturdy as some of the cheaper double braced stuff out there, even with the boom extended and a heavy, thick ride cymbal on it. The bass drum pedal is about as no-frills as they come, yet with proper spring tension adjustment, it plays quite nicely. It's never going to feel like a high-end pedal, but if you need something that folds up and fits in hardware bag but still plays nicely, this pedal is fine. Snare stand is adjustable in all the right ways and works perfectly for holding my 14x5.5" snares. One very nice touch is that you can fold the snare basket arms up straight for transport/storage without turning the clamp knob. The hi-hat stand is also no frills but works fine and is very stable and solid. The only niggle, and it's a minor one, is the hi-hat spring adjustment is a little too easy to turn the tension down on. It doesn't have quite enough of a "detent" so it's moved while in transport in my gear bag. On the other hand, I particularly like the design of the included hi-hat clutch, though the supplied clutch felts were too thick and I had to tear about 1/8" off of one so the top hi-hat wasn't clamped too tightly, even with the adjustment nuts backed all the way off. I'm able to carry all of this gear, with the stands collapsed and the hi-hat stand top tube removed, in a single 14x36" gear bag. Total weight is probably 40-50 lbs? Great for gigging!

I purchased this pack to use for my practice kit at home. I typically use Tama/DW hardware (speed cobra and DW 6000 flat based stands) for my other kit. I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised with this package. All of the hardware is medium duty but can certainly hold weight like heavy duty hardware. I have a tom connected to one of the stands, and it is holding up super well. It isn't budging. What I was most surprised about was the bass pedal and hi hat stand. Very responsive and smooth because of the strap drives. I would highly recommend this package to any drummer: beginner, intermediate, or pro.

Sturdy. Good value imo, not much more to say than that!
