3 or 4 legs?

Post by zorf »

Any opinions on which is better or even which looks cooler?

I use 4. Keeps the drum more stable if you have lots of stuff hung off it. I had trouble balancing mine. If you can evenly distribute the weight of the snare, cymbals, etc. then 3 works.

4 legs - the only way to go

Our first kits I build back in the mid 90's had three legs, way too unstable - 10.5mm legs with pull ring brackets is the only way to go for stability. Especially if your going to be running side drums and bigger cymbals... IMHO :)

Billy Blast drums makes a Bass Pedal Slideing Rail system that becomes your 4th leg and gives the pedal something solid to grip. Look how he builds his cocktail sets.
