This stand is probably one of the great stands to come out. I mean I have got at least 9 boom stands and this is the most stable, most reliable, and personally the coolest one. I mean I have a 18" AAXplosion crash on it and a Tama 14" by 11" floor tom on it too and does it wobble when I hit either. The only time it would probably fall down is if you purposely tried to push it down. Overall out of 10. 15!

I'm not sure how the other reviewers stands are set up, however my experience with the road pro boom arm cymbal stand line is that they tend to jiggle up and down as you ride your cymbals or crash. The price is reasonable, but there just seems to be a little to much flex in the boom arm.

I purchased three of the cymbal stands and the hi-hat stand together. Two of the cymbal stands have a slight wobble in the leg attachment area - they are strong, but they jiggle back and forth slightly. The other cymbal and the hi-hat stand are both solid and do not jiggle. It seems like the rivets attaching the legs to the tube are not tight enough on half of the stands. Also, no memory locks are included which is a drag. They stand strong though, and they get nice and high.

This stand is the perfect cymbal stand for any kind of situation. If you practice in a small area, or have limited stage space you can easily convert it to a straight stand, or if you have enough space you can have a boom stand. It's also very durable and doesn't wobble around from vibrations, like those given from the kick drum. I use two now and wouldn't hesitate to purchase a third and or fourth if I wanted to add more cymbals.

Tama has really done it. A great stand for the money! I use this stand to mount a 10 inch tom, along with a 16 inch crash, and it is miles more stable than the Tama swingstar dx stands. This roadpro series stand's shafts are a noticeably bigger diameter than the dx series, which is added security for my expensive investment.
