The Company world-renowned for its Custom Drums, Lightspeed Bass Drum Pedals and the unique service of MRP EdgeWorks now offers double braced stands and hardware. Using the same craftsmanship and details as drum building, MRP set out to build stands that 'stand' out from other manufacturers in a practical way! Rounded Knuckle In keeping with our unique lug design, we decided to keep the same Industrial look - with a purpose. We use a rounded knuckle on the stands to make handling and setting up the stand slightly easier compared to a square type. Here's where we're different The Industrial look/design and exceptional strength of the stands created by Mark Ross has been a 19 month R&D project. "I obsessed over an alloy that is much stronger and lighter than what you'll find in typically available stands." Our stands weigh between 11%-19% less than our competitors similar models. We also use a rounded knuckle on the stands to make handling and setting up the stand slightly easier compared to a square type. Black Chrome While chrome is the typical hardware finish, with MRP Hardware you can also have your stands in the same durable Black Chrome Finish as you'll find on our Stainless Steel Snare drum! It makes for one dramatic statement about you and your kit.
