Get a double braced boom stand that you can swivel the cymbal at any angle, none of those locking teeth sorta swivels.
ok.. ive found a Mapex B323A for cheaper than the 550, it says it is a revised version of the 550, anybody know if its 'better'?
ive got 1 b boom for my ride
2 Cs for my crashes and a staight c for my china
used the cs to hold tom also used to use 1 to hold 2 tomes so its pretty sturdy still have to put the legs right
