ive used the Pearls on my set. they dont hold anything big but i dont have any problems with them. ive got 2 of them, one holds a 10" splash and the other holds a cowbell. they are pretty solid and dont move at all. Pearl makes strong hardware but so does Gibraltar, ive used cymbals stands and pedals from them. so its a good product either way
