"Vintage hardware is usually weighty / Vintage style hardware tends to be very heavy"..... Uhm.... No... It really isn't/ doesn't, and that's kind of widely known and accepted. The fact that vintage or "vintage style" hardware is so much lighter than modern hardware (and '80s/ '90s hardware monstrosities are not 'vintage style') but still functional is generally why many players hold on to their vintage hardware/ why many players have started acquiring vintage hardware for gigging/ why companies such as DW, Pearl, Gibraltar, Tama, Ludwig have started reintroducing vintage (mostly flat-based) hardware. What a very very weird thing to say on a promotional video that one would expect to be a bit more informed (even if it was "on purpose" simply as marketing hype, how very weird to underestimate your potential clientele's intelligence/ knowledge like that then).
