Pearl BC-900 Boom Cymbal Stand 

Comments about Pearl BC-900 Boom Cymbal Stand:

I own one of these stands. About a year after I bought it, the plastic grip inside of the base pole broke. It will now not secure. The only thing that is keeping the top from sinking down is the memory lock. I also have tape on it so it doesn't come apart when I pick it up. I wasn't expecting this from a Pearl stand. I never bothered to contact anyone about it, but now I wish I had. Also, ever since I had it, there was a ringing/rattling noise coming from the top portion of the stand. I never figured out what it was. I'm thinking maybe I got a defective product.

This stand was purchased to replace a pdp boom that everything broke on! The wing bolts on the clamps all stripped out and the pins that hold it together are gone! This pearl looks like its gonna last at least twice as long as the pdp! I wish it came with a memory lock for the boom arm but for this price you wont find as many good features anywhere else!
This stand is great. It's rock solid, without being to heavy, which when you cary a bag full of hardware is important. The memory locks are great, all you'll need for any set-up. The only thing I wish this stand had is a memory lock for the boom arm, which would make setting up exact every time. Other than that, you can't buy a better quality stand for the cost of this one!
Awesome! I play Tama Starclassic's and have always loved the quality of their hardware, (I still think the iron cobra's are the best pedals on the market and have been for more than a decade!), I play with iron cobra kick pedals and the iron cobra high-hat and will untill someone makes something better! That being said, I bought the pearl boom stand for the feature's, mainly the memory locks. but this stand is very well built. Very strong and sturdy!
Great value! awesome stand for this price!

Overall this stand will take a beating and continue to provide what you need from a cymbal stand. Whether you're looking for a quick replacement or something light weight for easy transport this stand will work well for you.
The stop locks are great for quick set up and I've always been a fan of the unilock feature to get just the right placement no matter what direction the rest of the stand is placed in my kit's set up. The new wingnuts are really nice, but being plastic instead of metal I do worry about if it falls or is dropped and the wingnut breaking.
Pearl, in my opinion, has always made good stands and continue to improve with each new model they introduce. This stand specifically does a great job of staying put in place.
With the price Musicians Friend sells this stand you can't pass it up. Yeah there are better stands at more of a cost, but if you are in search of a quality stand for the price you can't beat this one hands down.

Only a 9 because of the short (I think) boom arm.

I normally don't write reviews BUT, to see 7 reviews written by people that have NEVER used the product just ............angers me. You can't possibly have a working knowledge of something you have never used. Opinions don't mean SQUAT without real world experience. I use this product every time I play,6-10 times weekly.
I only gave it an 8 on features because I think the boom arm could, and should, be longer.
Very sturdy stand. Absolutely adequate in every respect. I use 4 in all my setups. 21" AAx on one. Not even a waver out of it, no matter how hard I hit. The other three all have 18" AAX-Plosion crashes on them. one with a12" tom, one with a 13" tom,and one with a 14" tom. The only time I have a balance problem is when I reach too far out, straight between the legs with a tom. Justa slight leg placement adjustment does the trick. Obviously, placing all, or most, of your load weight directly above a foot is best.
Well worth the money.Extremely well built for a relatively low priced stand.

I got two of these cymbal stands to hold my main crash and my ride. This stand works great for holding the ride but when ever i ride my crash the locks come untightend. Thats the only thing that was the main down point. If this is a stand you need to hold a ride symbal it works great other than that I would say dont buy.

I just got one of these for Christmas. Sitting next to my Sound Percussion and PDP stands, the difference in quality is striking. This stand is amazing! I have a 16' crash and a 13' tom mounted on it and it's solid as a rock. The stand goes way higher than you would every need a stand to go, and the tilters and memory locks are awesome. The memory locks seem like they might be a bit of a pain to deal with, but I can't really comment because I have yet to play a show with this stand. I love that you can use to a pair of drum sticks to tighten or loosen this stand. Really convenient. Top quality design and construction. Thanks Pearl!

Nice stand, but here are some problems:1. The memory locks just about require pliers to move. This complicates set up and tear down as your attempt to collapse the stand into itself you run into these devilish little memory locks that don't want to let go. If you gig, you just about have to remove them. 2. The stand is much lighter in weight than some of my old stands. This may be nice for transporting, but I'm concerned the light weight may not hold up to the rigors of gigging and holding big cymbals.I've been very pleased with other Pearl hardware I've purchased in the past but this stand is not one of them. Sorry guys. I returned mine.

This a great boom stand to add to your collection. I was a little concerned that the quality would lack because of the rather inexpensive price; however, I was wrong. This stand is an excellent value. All joints tighten easily and tightly, and the memory locks are awesome (excellent design). I would highly recommend this stand to drummers of all kinds.

I have three of the older models on my traveling kit and they stay in a hardware bag most of the time. I like them so much that I ordered three more to have in my house as back-ups and for my other kit. The only complaint that I have is now they are shipping them with small feet. Still a great stand, just not the big bulky feet like in the picture or that use to be on the stands.
