I think this is a fantastic idea,its sturdy,can take abuse and looks very tidy... I bought this for my Gretsch but the L bracket does not fit the Gretsch Tom mounts. High end DW ,Gretsch and Ludwig tom mounts do not fit on this stand,which is super unfortunate because its an awesome piece of hardware. Tama should definitely make a thicker L to fit non Tama mounts. Let's hope they will!
