Dixon 709 Cymbal Boom Stand

Feature:
The nuts come loose easily and the boom arm will fall. You really have to tighten it.

Quality:
Very wobbly for heavier cymbals if the boom arm is too far out. Can be used as a striaght stand tho.

Value:
Despite its shortcomings, its very good for the price. I only paid 30 bucks for it at my store.

Desirability:
IF you need a stand to get the job done, this is the stand for you

Sound:
It will allow you to tighten your cymbals down, but if you like them loose, the nut loosens off.

Ease of Use:
Sets up very quickly.

Support:
Dixon has a support team that replies to e-mails you send.

Overall:
It could be heavier duty, but all in all, it is what you pay for, a boom stand.

Feature:
As far as features go this cymbal only has the convertible straight to boom.

Quality:
I haven't has mine for even a year yet, but so far they look pretty much new, they've held up fine. If you're going for a beefy look on your kit then avoid this stand, it has more thin arms, however once again, they hold up perfectly. I'm broke, so I can't be picky.

Value:
It's price may be a little too much for being one of the low end cymbal stands on the market, but I love this stand. It gets the job done without fail, so I'm happy.

Ease of Use:
Easy to set up and take down, pretty simple. However adjusting it can be a pain, if you're a real stickler about where your cymbals are then take the money to buy something better, however so long as you tighten it well the only thing you'll have to worry about is balance.

Overall:
There isn't a single thing wrong with it, and being lightweight it's easy to take my set to friends houses. If you're a beginning drummer or even a few years into it then this should do a sufficient job so long as you treat it right.
