I bought two of these stands, and the package felt heavy as lead when it arrived.
Having said that, I wanted a couple of really heavy duty stands. I do not have a ton of experience with cymbal stands, but I feel you can go to war with these things. I have never seen such solid stands. They sit like a couple of brute, barbarian soldiers on the ground, and it feels nothing can shake them off their feet. Will be using them for a heavy ride and crash cymbals, plus toms mounted to both. I have no doubt they will stand up to any test. The wingnuts may be the only faulty parts. Seems they sit very loosely in their casing. Hoping for the best.
Can you please ship me a roadie to help with the new load?
