Finally a stand that claims to be lightweight, and actually is. This stand holds my heavy stavewood snare drum absolutely firmly, even on a bouncy hollow stage in a marquee at a wedding. The rubber ends of each arm are nicely designed so you can pop the drum in and out of the cradle with ease.
The ONLY (and I mean only) criticism of this stand is that the most effective way of collapsing it for travel means losing your angle adjustment - I'm not sure it would have been possible with this design, so I guess the guys at TAMA have made the call on that.
I have the tom stand too, and it's equally suited to my needs. Perfect fot the working drummer who carries their own drums around!
