Millenium CS-718 Stage Cymbal Stand

Ok so it is my fault, I really shouldn't have bought this stand, I was driven by cheap price and thought I would give it a go, it was for my 2nd drum kit, which I use sometimes and was a stand short as I didn't want to strip my studio kit which has little room in the studio.
The stand itself is shiny chrome, so that is a plus, but it is very and I mean very lightweight, the tubing is very thin, I could have used it for a light splash or 14in Crash, but it cymbal felts are very small, cymbal holder is very short and worst of all there is no plastic sleeves to protect cymbals from key holing. I recommend paying the extra for a more heavier stand like the Millenium CB-801 Pro Series Boom Stand with better cymbal felts and plastic protection, I was going to give it a 2 out of 5, but I have found a use for it, I am using it as a tom holder using a universal clamp.
If you can live with it being lightweight and possibility of key holing your cymbals then give it ago, if you hit you cymbals hard and use quality cymbals, pay a little extra for a stand.
Excellent quick service from Thomann as always.

A great stand for very little money. It would be ideal if you are setting up and leaving in one place. Also brilliant as a started stand for a new drummer.

I bought 2 of these and even mounted a 10" Tom off of one and extra cymbals from both. They held up really well so stability is not a problem.

I'm not a fan of the plastic screw down cymbal protector though and prefer the plastic seat type with a traditional wing nut.

There is a good amount if adjustment available on these stands too.

My only criticism really is that parts seem to come loose and need to be screwed back in before you lose them. I think this is only a problem when they are often packed down and set up again though.

Still a great stand for not much money at all.

This stand does not have a good shelf life. It is quite fragile and not very high quality. I didnt expect too much for the price i was paying for it but it is not a good stand. The hardware feels cheap. The rubber pieces on the legs fall off easily and the mechanism for height adjustment is very poor.

I have had a lot of problems with the top of the stand where the cymbal sits.The screws dont stay in place very long and the cymbal slants down when the screw stops working.

In saying that, i actually still use this stand as it is still functioning to a point. I use it for my ride cymbal because i dont need it to be high and i dont need it at much of an angle.

I wouldnt recommend this to harder playing drummers as it can't take the heat. It might be ok for softer players.
