Using the same toothless tilter found on the 3 Tier boom stand, the stand made it easy to find a comfortable angle without issue.
The M4 snare stand was a sturdy, uncomplicated piece of hardware that makes it easy to get your snare drum where you want it as quickly as possible. However, for players who find themselves frequently adjusting stands and settings, the sleek-looking locks can become a tad bit tedious as any changes require loosening the main wing nut and the memory lock’s key bolt. Zeroing in on my ideal height and making sure it stayed there was easy with the integrated mating memory locks on each stand (a steel tab on the underside of each memory lock fits into a receiving port at each adjustment point). But perhaps the most exciting feature of the M4 Boom is the toothless cymbal tilter up top.Īllowing for infinite adjustability and fine-tuning, these smooth operators are made even more manageable with the addition of a spring-loaded, large-grip toggle that can be moved out of the way with a simple ratchet-like motion. With a 75″ maximum height and nearly a 3.5′ difference between the highest and lowest settings, the M4 3 Tier boom stands should be able to accommodate any player’s preferences. Designed with the working drummer in mind, these hefty units are a heavy hitter’s dream, each featuring their own unique set of attributes that constantly reminded me of the company’s commitment to detail. In addition to the Sublime shell pack, Crush also sent over a set of its M4 hardware series, including two 3 Tier boom stands, as well as snare and hi-hat stands. The guys at Crush said they’re in the works, but I feel like this kit could be even better with an 18″ or even 16″ deep kick that would allow for more dynamic playability. I’d very much like to see a few more tom sizes, and more than anything else, shallower bass drums.

My only real issue with the Sublime Maple series is the thus-far limited number of available sizes. Table-top tight or low and loose, the Sublime Maples were a treat for the ears at every tuning.
The 14″ x 6″ snare was crisp, cracking and focused the 20″-deep bass drum played like a ship’s cannon and the 10″, 12″, 16″ toms each spoke with beautiful voices that sounded great on their own, and even better together. I can only imagine it was that combination of features that made the Crush kit easier to tune than just about anything I’ve ever played. The 7-ply maple shells felt just a hair thicker than those I’ve seen from other manufacturers, and the triple-sanded, double-45 degree bearing edges were almost eerily smooth. At no point during my time with the Sublime kit did I even think about muffling - wide-open, these were punchy, present drums that sounded just as comfortable in a funky organ jam as they did in a brutally loud metal rehearsal. Clean, clear, and fat, with tone for days, these drums were a joy to play from the moment I sat down. Fortunately, the Crush Sublime Maple drum set sounded spectacular.
