Is this really all the metal you need for good and steady hardware? Yes!
I love vintage look and have been constantly using flat base hardware from two specific manufacturers (Gibraltar and DW). When the time came to purchase new straight flat base stands, Tama Classic Stand (HC52F) was an option number one. At the same time I contemplated, whether these stands stand up (pun intended) with my 22" and 24" rides. However, I was surprised to find out that these stands are even lighter and slimmer than I had thought! And they perform really well! They are nice and stable, tilting mechanism works fine and I'm really happy with performance.
Then I thought - why not take whole set of hardware? And I ordered HC4FB.
HH55F hi-hat stand - extremely lightweight, has nice direct pull and set-up/adjustments are really easy to make. This stand just looks beautiful with it's minimalistic footplate.
HS50S snare drum stand - compact, beautiful design and wonderful minimalistic features. Surprising stability even when height of the stand is maxed-out.
Overall, this hardware set really pushes the boundaries of minimal use of material, while not compromising stability.

Great lightweight hardware
I never would have thought that drum hardware could be packed in such a small bag. The Tama Classic hardware is great if you want to have hardware that is (comparatively) light and can be packed into one bag that is smaller than a violin case. The hardware is well-built with a smooth finish. The Hihat-Stand can be adjusted easily and runs very smooth. The cymbal stands are stable. The snare stand is uncomplicated to set up and holds my 12" snare with ease. I would definetely buy this set again. Of course, compared to heavy hardware like the Tama Roadpro series, the Classic hardware doesn't offer as much stability. But for the weight and size of the hardware, they are unbeatable.

A fine and lightweight hardware set
A great hardware stand set, unless you are a metal or hardrock drummer, this set will last a long time. It weighs only 8 kgs! The cymbal stands are moving a bit but they still hold up. The hihat pedal action is very smooth. I would recommend this hardware set when you have a medium-light setup for gigs, but it works just as well at home or in the studio.

legit
this is a sturdy and very lightweight stand set. it all can be packed in a small bag, very portable.
the cymbal stands can wobble, but if you posution them correctly, they are realy sturdy, not moving, even if played with more force

Superb!
The best hardware I have ever used. I hit hard, have played classic rock with large cymbals and it stands up fine. Not as sturdy as a heavy set but by far the most giggable set ever. Added an extra cymabal and tom stand and still fits in the bag and is carried on the shoulder rather than 1-2 people. Also, superb retro looks included!

Awesome!
I bought this pack because I wanted lighter hardware. I had some concerns about the stability, at least with the cymbal stands, but it turned out great. There is some movement in the stands when you play but nothing to worry about. I would perhaps recommend another snare stand if you prefer to have the snare drum set up high.
What I like most about this pack is the hihat. It's super smooth and I really enjoy playing it!
I recommend checking out the review Peter Erskine did on the classic series. It's pretty accurate!

Hi
I purchased the Tama Classic hardware as I wanted a lightweight & retro look...
Most of the other manufacturers flat based stands are quite heavy when you compare !
I also believe that Tama build quality has always been very good ..... ( time will tell)
So far I?m impressed and it feels great not having to carry a heavy hardware bag ever sgain?

The most practical and elegant hardware.
These stands look great and seem to me the lightest and most compact on the market. The snare stand can hold even a 10” drum. It keeps the angle at which you set up your snare stable. Hi-hat clutch does not unwind or get loose, the mechanics of the hi-hat drive work great. BUT if you need to be smashing sideways against the edge of your crashes, they would probably fall:) I hardly ever do that even when hitting my crash hard, so it works for me.
