Professional Aluminum Drum Stands
Style: Straight Size: Advanced Lightweight Color: Aluminum Channel Legs
These Yamaha aluminum stands are awesome... They weigh about 1/3rd the weight of standard steel stands, are very professional and have the stability for my style of drumming. It would be nice if a drum company used aluminum lugs and rims on their maple shells...

Lightweight Yamaha stand
Style: Straight Size: Advanced Lightweight Color: Aluminum Channel Legs
Excellent stand, I didn't use it yet , but well made , very light , will fit in any hardware case. Very stable and great value for money. I will recommend this stand to any working drummer.

Crosstown series good snare and cymbal stands. High hat stand not so much.
Style: Straight Size: Advanced Lightweight Color: Aluminum Channel Legs
Very light but kind of pricy. Really could use a boom arm. Base does go quite wide so is sturdy. Much lighter than my pearl convertibles. Which are way better than DW flat base. Just not as flexible without the boom arm. Cross town snare stand is very light. But don’t bother with the high hat stand. Not adjustable at all. ... show more

Super light, strong stand for single cymbal use
Style: Straight Size: Advanced Lightweight Color: Aluminum Channel Legs
I really like these stands. I bought the full set previously and wanted to add another cymbal stand. The C channel base is lightweight and strong. It will support any cymbal with no trouble. Just be careful about adding attachements because the light weight doesn't offer a lot of tip resistance if you have an unbalanced boom arm clamped on. I would not recommend using the base as a yamaha double tom mount upper section because the stand neck can be seen flexing under the weight. I got through the gig but went back to just using it for one cymbal. These stands are noticeably lighter than regular steel stands and for most single cymbal use, they are my go-to stand to keep the wight down in the bag. Also, I used it to mount an ipad clamp for certain shows where I needed a stable stand up high to be in line with the music director. I highly recommend these! ... show more

Love this whole setup
Style: Straight Size: Advanced Lightweight Color: Aluminum Channel Legs
I saw these at a jazz gig in SF and tracked them down out of curiosity. The weight was attractive as I travel to rehearse twice a week and just turned 61! I bought two cymbal stands, HH and snare and went back for another cymbal stand. I have a big DW with 9000 hardware but it’s overkill for rehearsal and hard to move. I got a Sonor AQX jungle and added these stands. It all works perfectly and no issues with instability despite the very thin top tubes. Hihat spring IS fixed tension but I’ve tried it with 14” new beats and 15” mastersound customs and it all works great. They come in bags but the bags don’t last, esp the HH and so the surface does mark as they rub together in the bag. But my back is good! Can’t say enough about these! HH might creep with vigorous use but I use a carpet and kick block behind the HH and it’s rock solid. ... show more

I love these stands!!
Style: Straight Size: Advanced Lightweight Color: Aluminum Channel Legs
I have been using these stands for over a year now, including taking them on the road with me. They are super light, but very sturdy -- more sturdy than the DW lightweight stands (which I've often had fall over on me, or in the case of the DW snare stand having the snare lower in height as I played unless a really cranked the wingnut AND the memory lock down). I would definitely make sure you keep them in the fabric bags they come in when you put them in your hardware bag, as they legs themselves could get pretty beat up over time. I have used these on light jazz gigs as well as heavy blues and funk gigs, with no stability problems at all. I have yet to have one fall over on me while I'm playing, even some outdoor gigs in relatively windy weather. There is definitely a time for heavier duty hardware, but when you need lightweight hardware that will save your back but won't let you down on the gig, these are absolutely the best I have found so far. I am very happy with these. I have a few of the cymbal stands -- I do not own the snare and hihat from this series, but I have used them on gigs and they work well and are trouble free, and they are on my near term shopping list. ... show more

Excellent quality light stand.
Style: Straight Size: Advanced Lightweight Color: Aluminum Channel Legs
I bought this stand along with Yamaha's CS-3 four piece package which consists of a hihat stand, snare stand, and two cymbal stands. They are all excellent pieces, very light weight, and make moving a drum kit around much easier than using heavy traditional stands. Plus this third stand also fits in the carry bag that comes with the four piece package. Don't know why Yamaha doesn't just sell a five piece package with three cymbal stands since almost all drummers use at least three cymbals with their drum kit setup. ... show more

Don’t skimp on your health.
Style: Straight Size: Advanced Lightweight Color: Aluminum Channel Legs
If you’re gigging a lot you need to think about your health and body. My sciatica could not handle lugging heavy hardware as frequent as I do. It’s not the cheapest to buy the bundle but believe me it is worth it! Unless you actually felt how light these are you wouldn’t believe it. So I needed one more cymbal stand and I couldn’t just use an older stand I got because I am spoiled by how light these are. So I spent the money to get an extra stand.
