PDP P/D 700 Boom Cymbal Stand  

This is a nice stand. I have been using it since I got it and it holds my cymbal just fine. Just the perfect highth for my drumset. I will be purchasing more items in the near future.

I was rather dissapointed with this stand. Not very sturdy at all. It was a lot smaller than i thought i would be. The tubes aren't very thick. I keep it rather short with an 18in crash on it, and it tends to fall over... a lot. I don't hit very hard either. So you get what you pay for.  It would probably work better with a smaller cymbal, and maybe some small weights on the legs.

I was looking for a good, sturdy, stand that I didnt have to pay $75 for. Well, this seemed to fit the bill. I have other PDP stands but this is not like them. When I opened the box, I was shocked to see how small it was. The diameter of the stand is small and the height isnt all that. Its like a beginner stand you see for those Toys r Us kits. It will work for now but i will eventually sideline this thing and get something beefier.

I wasn't paying attention when I ordered it and for some reason thought it was a 800 series, which I have also and it is MUCH more sturdy. It is holding a cymbal and I am playing it but will probably donate it to the kid I sold my old kit to.

The quality for this stand isn't horrible,but it was a lot less durable than I imagined it to be.

It does its job.

Overall I think that you should probably replace the stand after you save enough money for one that is more durable. This stand is however good for beginners. A problem I had with the stand was that whenever I play gigs, if the legs don't get spread out enough, it will shake back and fourth on you.
