This professional grade cymbal stand comes with a double braced tripod assembly which provides maximum stability, but yet light enough in weight and mass for easy transportation. Enjoy all of the features of touring professional including a gearless cymbal tilter, casted hinged height adjustment with protective tube inserts, and nylon collar inserts for no metal to metal contact. The 18 inch hideaway boom arm can be used to give you optimum cymbal placement, or collapsed and used as a straight stand.
