...is all I want. One that doesn't rock, sway, shimmy, or vibrate. One that stays at the height and angle I set it at and doesn't swivel around. One where the bolts don't strip the second time I break it down and set it up again....
You get the idea. I've probably had a dozen different snare stands over the past half dozen years. Ludwig, Gibraltar, Mapex, Tama, Pearl, Sound Percussion. (Hey, SPs get great reviews on Musicians Friend.) Only one that came close to working the way I've always thought one should was a Yamaha I used in China, and I couldn't find its equivalent when I came back to the U.S.
Anyone have any suggestions for me? Are DWs as solid as I've heard? I've avoided DW hardware out of principle - they just seem way too expensive. But I'll pry my old wallet open if they really, really, really work.
Thanks!
