Snare stands and general drum hardware

My wife wants another snare stand to practice with. It's not like this is a moving part or anything, so I may just go with something relatively cheap. But I hate cheap hardware, so I thought I would fish for comments on a good snare stand. Throw in other comments about who makes the best drum hardware: cymbal stands, HH, kick pedals, etc.

Levels on drum recording way hot...

Well, its been a while! Anyway, here's the deal. Went to record a drum track today. Its a 4 mic, Glynn Johns type setup as far as micing. A pair of AT2020's overhead, an AT4040 on kick, and an MD421 on snare. These are running into a Mackie 1202 VLZ mixer for pre's only, and out the sends on the Mackie into a Delta 44.

what software recommended to synth a vocal or drum recording

Forums

Can any recommend a software for Cubase 4 or 5 compatability to do synthesizing effects on drum and vocal analog recorded tracks. robic sounding vocal stuff and cool drum intro stuff etc. I downloaded a demo version of Alchemy(?) but couldn't figure out how to get it to do this even though they say it can. They have a cool demo video.

Drum Room

Hey guys, Right now I'm trying to record drums, but I just cant get the sound I'm looking for. My kit is in a 10x11 room with heavy foam and blankets. The rest of my house is completely open. I was thinking of moving my drums to the living room. OK, so heres my question, does the room really have a big effect on a close miked drum kit? Should I move my kit to record?
