Bands first playthrough video...

Tell the drummer that setting his cymbals that tightly to the stands is a recipe for breakage (and poor sound IMO).

sorry im a bass player and in no way a drummer but what do you mean setting the cymbals that tightly to stands?
how close the cymbals are to stands as in could hit arm and do damage?
just plain old tightened to much?
or am i still way off there? sorry like i said just a bass player i follow the drums but dont have a clue about the ins and outs of them.
 
I am usually very critical but I do like this song. (crazy about the video but the song is well done.)

Mugre is right though. Your drummer seems to have his cymbals much too tight. He might do this to avoid having them ring for a longer period of time than he likes. They barely move when he its them. I wouldn't be surprised if he breaks them more often than he should.
