Gibraltar 8709 Cymbal Boom Stand Flat

I found just what I was looking for in this retro looking cymbal stand.

Well built, easy to put up & down plus, a great price. As with most boom arm stands it helps stability if you can have the boom positioned over one of the legs (especially if you're mounting a large cymbal on it).

The only possible downside might be the height. It only extends to about 97cm with the boom arm horizontal which may be a little short for some crash positions. However, as I bought it for my ride on a 4-piece kit it's more than adequate.

I found this boom stand to be lightweight but not entirely sturdy. I have a thin 22" ride on this stand and it doesnt look to be that comfortable under the weight of it. Ive also noticed that it doesnt sit the flat on the ground. if you like your cymbals high this stand could be a problem for you.

problem with Gibraltar is that you pay high prices, but expect sturdiness. was a bit disappointed when i realised this one was not as solid as i expected, but still stands in its feet and does the job!
