WOW! This may be the cheaper end of the DW line but in no way has quality been sacrificed. This thing is heavy duty and built to last. It's easy to assemble and with features like tension rod adjustment and swivel legs so you can fit it around your other gear, it just feels like a really high quality stand. Why spend $$$ on a DW when this is just as good?

Perfect, The stand was a little tight when i first put it together (easy assembly though). When you press the pedal it feel like it was rubbing just a little.. So i put some oil on the hi hat rod, and it fixed it, i dont beleive it would of hurt, i didnt have HH's on when i noticed it but i wanted it to be top shape since i just bought it.. well all i have to say is its a good stand. heavy, sturdy.. Being able to swivle the foot pedal to accomadate for my double bass pedel helps alot..

I bought this stand a year or so ago it's a really heavy duty durable stand. I've tried out the Iron Cobra stand and if you blind folded me and told me to play using both I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. This is an amazing stand that won't disappoint you. It only has 1 problem when I play pretty heavy duty or do a lot of chokes (which I do a lot) the stand has a tendency to un-tighten and close the high hats on me. It happens somewhat rarely but can get annoying.

This is one of the best high-hats ive ever played. The retractable legs are great for storage and transportation. The stand is incredibly durable and does not bundge. This is a great buy!

Awesome stand. Incredibly sturdy. My bassist backed into it and he fell over; the stand didn't budge. Rotating legs make it great for compact spaces. Could maybe be retractable in some way...? Maybe I just haven't figured out how yet. Grab one of these DW-quality, affordable stands now, for the next gig with gale-force winds you play. ;)
