Ludwig Atlas Classic hardware is designed to be light-weight, very compact, and durable for gigging drummers with small performance spaces. The straight cymbal stand features a gearless, dual-axis rotating arm that can hold the drum at virtually any angle. The flat legs of the stands allow you to completely overlap the bases of your setup, saving you feet of working space - a critical feature for pit orchestra drummers. Additionally, the Acculite Sustain Feet create a small resonance chamber between the stand and the floor, in turn giving mounted drums and cymbals more resonance.
