Yamaha Double-Braced Lightweight Boom Cymbal Stand

At the last minute I chose quality over quantity, and I'm glad I did. Instead of two cheapie no name boom stands I put my money on just one CS-665A Yamaha. I'm blown-away by the quality Yamaha puts into their least expensive stand. No joke, I can't put big bucks into building this kit. But, I made the right decision going with Yamaha. I'll eventually get this kit built, but it will last a long time.

Good for the price.

I have now been using my two new Yamaha lightweight stand for about two weeks. The reason why I say I glad I brought two is because not only do I use it for a ride and a crash cymbal. I also mount a 8" and a 14" tom on each. I was a little concern with purchasing it for the larger tom because they are light weight. Needless to say I love them, because not only are they lightweight (which makes my trap case lighter) they are really lightweight and STURDY enough to hold my ride cymbal and my 14" tom with ease. In fact I've even added another crash cymbal, so that makes it two cymbals and a tom.

This is a great stand that is easy to lug around because of the lighter weight. It is still double braced which I think is more visually appealing. I would give it 5 stars if the boom came with a memory lock.
