This stand is built well and sturdy. It doesn’t move around at all no matter how hard I hit my cymbal. For the price you can’t go wrong.

The title are the most important features I look for in a stand or mount, and this one has it all, plus some. The both pivots for cymbal angle are toothed to ensure against drooping or movement. The main boom arm is knurled almost the whole way, ensuring against slippage or twisting. These two pivots allow a vast range of motion to capture the smallest nuanced difference in placement preference. Finally, the feet spread and double braced legs offer fantastic stability and balance, which should hold up well under pressure. The finish on it is not the greatest, but everything does what it should well so far We will see how it withstands some good beatings and vibration, but I feel confident it will do well.

Ermaoren Cymbal Stand,Boom & Straight Stand - This cymbal stand works as a beginner or entry level stand. As a boom stand, it only has one height adjustment section instead of two like more professional grade stands would. The angle adjustment on the boom arm is probably the worst part. It is not easy to adjust and tends to catch on the internal teeth. There is a plastic bushing for the height adjustment on the tripod so it is cheap and likes to slide out. The cymbal connections didn't slip or break loose when testing it during drumming. Overall, okay starter stand, but it is not as good as the light duty name brand stands. Reviewed by drummer, drumming 36 years.

Well made for a no name brand, sturdy and holds up well to the music I play. Will buy again.

This cymbal stand works well enough when it's set up and stationary that I think it will serve well in my drum set for a while. It does have the nice feature that you can slide the boom down through the shaft of the main stand to have it in an upright mode (not boom), and for transport.However, there are enough little things that add up to taking one star off the review, and most of them show up when you're setting up or taking down.1) The very top wingnut -- the one that holds the cymbal between the foam pads -- is plastic. I know that it's not a load-bearing wingnut and it doesn't need to be tightened down hard, but because it's slightly soft plastic, it's a bit grindy-feeling when you screw it on and off. Not enough to declare "this is garbage!" but enough to think that the screw threads are going to wear down and strip out over time and you'll need to replace it with a metal wingnut anyway. Given that it probably saved them less than a nickel of cost, I wish they would have just done a metal wingnut.2) The top joint is a bit finicky. The teeth to hold it at whatever angle you like are long enough that you have to unscrew the wingnut quite a bit before you can adjust the joint and change the angle. BUT the bolt through the joint is only juuuuust long enough to pull this off, which means that you have to unscrew the wingnut almost exactly the right amount, because if you unscrew it an extra twist or so, it's going to fall off and the washer will probably fall off and maybe half of the joint will as well. I have decided that I don't dare adjust this joint while a cymbal is mounted, lest the whole thing collapse on my hands.3) Generally, the metal is a little lighter than other stands I have, and has some edges that were not beveled off on the legs. This means that there's a higher risk of something bending if heavy weight gets stacked on this stand in a bag in the back of your vehicle, or that the legs actually have the risk of scratching or cutting other stands, fabrics, or fingers that come in contact. Not casual contact, but I think that hard rubbing might cause a problem. So generally, I'm less comfortable hauling this around than I am my other stands.All that said, if you just want to add another cymbal to your play-at-home set, replace a broken or truly chintzy stand, or you're okay with the caveats I discussed above, then this is a fine cymbal stand.As an added note, the stick bag it comes with is very handy. Its mounting bracket clamps around the upright shaft of a cymbal stand or a pole mount for a tom/bongo/etc. And it has a circular bend that you hang the stick bag on so the bag is held open. This is a big improvement over my carry-bag which can be tied around a floor tom, but doesn't really have a nice wide opening to drop sticks or cymbal mallets back into when you're switching. I almost think they could sell the stick bag separately for $10 or so, and be very successful.

We have a pretty decent drum set, with a variety of pieces, that has gone through several family members, most recently, our oldest granddaughter. While the set is fairly complete, we've never had a cymbal stand. I was happy to get this stand, which frees my husband from cobbling something together each time we set up the drums.The tripod base of the symbol stand is very stable with each leg having heavy duty rubber feet. Each leg is also double and the wing nuts that hold the folding part of the base is heavy duty. The same heavy duty style wingnut tightens the telescoping mast. The top of the stand is a double knuckle articulation with even larger wing nuts, providing very secure adjustment. The plastic nut at the very top holding the symbol itself on the top of the stand looks a little insufficient compared to the rest of the stand, but that’s minor. The drumstick holder is a nice convenience.

I like this stand, and we will be using it no question.However, with the boom out and a big ride cymbal on it, it was a little unstable and I couldn't extend it as far as I wanted. Maybe the edge case, and I could make it work, but it was a little tricky.Like others have said, the angle adjustment for the cymbal (but not the one for the boom) has a short bolt, and trying to get the nut and washer back on while holding that heavy ride was a bit annoying. And the wing nuts holding the adjustments seem just a bit undersized. Not so much that they don't work, but when you adjust it just feels small. Hard to describe, but it just adds to the overall impression.Still, even with it's shortcomings I think at the price, it's pretty decent and like I said, we'll continue to use it. Although maybe with a smaller crash :)
