I use a 16", bass drum along with other percussion instruments to give a fuller sound, I have a modified bass pedal which didn't give the same feel as a full size one, so I bought this riser and it does the job perfectly, it's very strong and has very good adjustment overall. I made extension legs for the front of the drum and I can now use a proper pedal which makes a big difference. The stand is easy to adjust and is very strong, highly recommended.
