Hey everyone,
Just came back from band practice and my boom stand holding my ride decided to sheer off halfway through practice, luckily no damage occured to my kit or cymbal!
But its kinda scared me, I only had a cheap stand but it seemed fairly sturdy, but now I need to replace it, and I'm a bit weary of just buying a stand without getting some feedback or opinions, My ride is a Meinl MB20 Heavy and I need something that can hold the weight of it without me having to worry.
I have my ride extended quite far out of the boom so its close to me above the Bass drum.
I've been looking at Mapex stands, because everything I own from them I'm very impressed with and the pricing seems decent, but I'm open to suggestions
As I said I'm a bit weary of buying something that won't last, and I need some feedback or opinions.
Thanks
TM
