1 more vote for the "Spur-Lock" When I don't use those I use the cheapest possible Network stands 'cause they kinda feel vintage. Whenever I do a gig on backline gear I take as much tension off those double springed or hydraulic pedals as I can. They often still feel like machines for doing workout!

Picked up a Slingy 804 direct pull several years ago and have never looked back. Super smooth, sturdy, and light weight, what more can you ask for! I also used a dynamo with a 70s slingy kit that is now sold, but loved that pedal as well.

I use a Rogers Supreme hihat from the mid 70's, the Memriloc version. Hundreds of gigs on it, no problems at all. Sturdy and stable, nice action and not too heavy.
I use all Memriloc stands on the road kit...

One of the kits that I jam on (not mine) needed a new hh stand. It's a '60s Slingerland. So I bought a '60s Slingy hh stand, and couldn't be more pleased. dThe action is superb. Not all Slingy hardware was bad back in the day. I also own a '65 BDP 'Ringo' kit, and have an era correct Ludwig hh stand. Again, no problems at all. I think modern hardware looks very out of place with vintage drums.
