I'm a gigging musician and I bought two of these to mount a small 8" splash and 14" china. Pearl does not disappoint. I haven't had any issues with slippage or parts breaking like the other reviewers, and honestly the quality is real sturdy and definitely holds it own when being thrown in my drum bag or knocked around on-stage. Whats so great about it is now I'm mounting all sorts of hardware on it, metronomes, stick bags, cowbells, very versitile product. However, there is one minor flaw, sometimes it takes some tweaking to get it in the right position, but usually its minor and I can get it where I want it.

I have been a big fan of Pearl products since I was young. My first set was even a pearl! I gotta admit, though, this insn't so great. I bought this stand for the recent addition(about 2 months ago) to mount a 12 inch splash. Even though it is a lighter-weight cymbal, the stand has already broken. I have done 4 shows with this stand and it worked great for all of them. It takes up no space and has a very strong bracket. Last week I was setting my drums back up in my garage and the bolt that tightens the ratchet snapped in two. This part of the stand is virtually irreplaceble and it was past return due, so now I have to buy a new stand. Probably a Tama stand of the similar design. Well, it was a good stand for the money, I just got a defected one. I will reccommend this to any drummer. Buy Away!

I put a 18" crash/ride on it with a 16" Crash ontop of that and the clamp stand works great. It does not move. All you need to do is tighten it every one and a while b/c all the playing will spin it ever so slightly. A Great buy for the money. Get it

It works very well if your adding a cymbal or a cowbell. one problem i had was getting it at a good angle and keeping my cymbal at the right angle too.
