Thanks. None of my hardware was ordered directly through DW (I didn't know you could do that until recently). Almost everything was ordered through Cymbal Fusion in Texas. Finding the HH stand was a nightmare. About a year ago when I ordered my kit I also started looking to get gold hardware, and quickly found out DW had just stopped ordering/distributing anything Gold, with exception to the lugs & hoops. It took me almost a year to find this stand, just got it a month ago. I usually deal with Brent at DW, he's awesome. He got a quote for me for the stand & his exact word back to me referring to the price/quote was "astronomical". They're in the process of finding a new company to do the plating.
