PDP 700 Series Boom Cymbal Stand 2-Pack  

I didn't expect much for the price, but these boom stands are actually pretty good. I think they were designed and intended for smaller, lightweight cymbals because they almost want to tip over when I make my cymbals scream! However, I braced them up using other components of my set, so ultimately they are doing ok.

Single pivot stand. No frills.

Very flimsy. I have some single braced stands that are 40 years old that are sturdier.

They may be worth half of what I paid in my opinion.

Not real happy with these. I would not put anything bigger then a 10" cymbal on them.

Everything clamps down fine, but then they are brand new.

I think they're fine for smaller cymbals, splashes, small crashes.  A big ride or crash might make them a big unsteady.  Keep them low for added stability.

Once again, they are a light duty stand, so don't expect a world tour out of them.  Fine for practice kits that don't go very far.

For the price, they aren't bad stands at all, just be aware that they aren't going to stand up to extended touring and getting beat around. 

I have owned 3 of these stands as well as other products from PDP. The stands worked very well when I first got them, and they performed well for about 3 months. During these 3 months my band played about 16 gigs and I took my kit to all of them using these stands the whole time. Then while setting up for one show one of the stands legs would not tighten, the bolt was completely stripped. when I pulled it out of the stand the thread from the inside of the leg came out too, this means I could not simply use another screw to tighten it with. This went on to happen to all three of my stands and my pdp snare stand. I will continue to buy PDP drums but not their hardware, they need some serious quality checks.

These stands are the real deal.

If you want something really sturdy, don't look anyplace else. These stands will hold up under the pressure of rock and roll.

I couldn't believe how strong these stands are made for the money. Compared to local prices they would cost three times the money locally. I talked with the technician at Musicians Friend and he recommended them.

I have a whole house full of toys like this but nothing built any better. The boom feature is awesome and the tilt feature lets you tip the cymbal at the correct angle.
