So I’ve just done a rehearsal with the Tama stuff and the cymbals stands were pretty solid to be fair. Good floor though and not too loud etc … both great hardware sets
I have the Tama Classic. I purchased a second bag to carry my pedal, tom stand, floor tom legs, and drum throne stand. I recommend getting a second Tama Classic case
I've also used both these sets, and they're both very good. I have not had any problems with the tama cymbal stands at all. I play a big ride cymbal quite heavily and the stand has been very sturdy. I imagine if you're in a metal outfit typ of band it would not suffice, but I am not, so it will. I did a few gigs on the yamaha stands without a carpet (house kit) and they really do move around alot more than the tamas. For me the looks of the tama, ease of setup, memory locks and very small size when folded together really seals the deal. I fit four tama cymbal stands, hihat stand, snare stand, floor tom legs, rack tom holder and my bass drum legs in the tama bag with room to spare, which is incredible. Cheers, and thanks for the review.
Fair. I don’t play metal or hit hard. But too often I am at places where the playing stage is not flat/uneven etc and I’d not be confident that the 20” ride would hold up. Especially in a marquee or similar where the floor can be less than optimal. I have the classic set up at home on my practice set now. I really do prefer the classic in every other way though. I’ve not had movement from the Crosstowns, and the bag accommodates my microphones too, and it’s all about the carry from the car! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for making this. I have the Tama Lightweight set, but i would like to mount my 12 x 8" tom off a cymbal stand. I wonder would the Crosstown cymbal stand handle that?
I’m sure I seen somewhere that you can put the top boom ection of one of the 600 (I think) Yamaha stands in a crosstown base. I’ll have a look as I have one. Thanks for watching

Good shout. I bought the slightly larger Tama bag (not the wheeled one) and that works well too. Thanks for watching
Been loving my Crosstowns since day one ❤
Awesome thanks for watching

Well you could. But I don’t. I don’t think it would do it much good. I use a normal single braced Yamaha stand when I want to mount a Tom.
Thanks Chris👌 I reckon another snare stand will be in order.
I use the Yamaha Crosstown, love them, but I wish they would make a Crosstown boom stand
