Hello,
I have never really concentrated on "nice stands" for my cymbals or snare.
Today, I notice my old Sonor 400 series boom stand was slightly bent. The weight of the tom hanging from it had caused the stand to lean just a bit. But, it was enough that the tom couldn't be mounted completely level. Also, I don't want to say the stand alway had wobble in it, but I had to be very careful where I mounted the tom so that the stand wouldn't tip.
So today, I stopped by my local GC and they were having a SALE (I know, they never have sales) and so I picked up a DW 9700 boom stand for 112. But I had a 35 dollar credit, so after tax, it was about 85 bucks.
All I can say is WOW! The stand is a friggin tank. Just high quality all around. I love my DW 5000 hi hat stand, but the quality of the 9000 series hardware makes me think that I might need to change out all of my other hardware. I have my 24 ride on a PDP stand and it seems to have a bit of wobble.
I need to check out the 9500 HH stand too.
Anyway, what great hardware. Heavy as hell though. Will be a good work out loading and unloading the car.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Mike
