It makes what it is described for. A good entry level cymbal stand suitable for beginners. Not sure in the long time how it will work, but for now Im pretty satisfied considering price. Not suitable to be closed and opened a lot of time so please consider it a good zhoice if you do not need to move it for live gigs
I use this stand fpr the ride cymbal and it roks out perfect. You cant a better stand for this price. You can use for a very different range of cymbals because it has the capability to regulate to many different heights. Handling Perfect.
Purchased as part of complete hardware package. For the price, this Fame stuff really has no right to be as good as it is. Not sure it would survive a long tour or being used at a busy rehearsal room, but if like me you are just gonna set it up and leave it be in your own space, it should do just fine. Excellent value.
