Great for a splash
I love the lightness of the stand, great for traveling without extra pounds to haul. However this stand is not too great for bigger cymbals, it almost fell over the first time I struck a china on it - luckily there was a camera guy there to save it from falling over. I didn't realize the leg span was so tiny. Ideal for a splash cymbal. I would opt for the lightweight DW stand without the boom, the boom throws the balance off center.
