Sound: It will allow you to tighten your cymbals down, but if you like them loose, the nut loosens off. Feature: The nuts come loose easily and the boom arm will fall. You really have to tighten it. Ease of Use: Sets up very quickly. 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. Manufacturer Support: Dixon has a support team that replies to e-mails you send. The Wow Factor: IF you need a stand to get the job done, this is the stand for you Overall: It could be heavier duty, but all in all, it is what you pay for, a boom stand.

"Cheap stand for cheap drummers" submitted April 20, 2007

The Wow Factor
Musical Background: Active musician, last 18 years
Music Style: Alternative/punk/raggae/kitchen sink
Back to Product Information
Feature: The"metal on meta"l aspect of how this is held together is a serious flaw that leads to premature failure. Quality: The lower connection to the legs fell apart the first time I used it on stage, with only about 10 hours play time on it. The "double chrome finish" wears off on the moving parts, the nuts strip easily, not made for people who actually play gigs and need to be able to set up and tear down again and again. Value: I bought it because it was the cheapest stand at the store. There's a reason it's so cheap. The Wow Factor: Looks just like what it is, a cheap boom stand. If you need this for a working kit, spend the extra money for a better one.

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

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know.

If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
