Size: Heavy Weight, Double-Braced
Style: Boom Stand
Just received my CS 865 HD boom/straight combo. The fight is on for market share and this redesign of their hardware to flatter the second generation Recording series (co-developed with the legendary Steve Gadd) packs a killer punch. Weighs 14lbs. Came sealed in a Yamaha, Japan box, boots are standar
d, one piece nylon cup and sleeve, two dense felt washers, heavy dbl brace legs, Beautiful Florentine finish highlights, sound isolation sleeves on extension tubes, extends like really, really high. * What catches my eye is the unique tilt mechanism. Never seen one like it and I love it. Check out the pics as they a thousand words plus. * Everything catches and locks with very little force at all. You won't need your channel locks for this one. Boom arm is convertible to straight post or boom; had a notched counter lock on boom extension only. * Sleek, sturdy, graceful, out right pretty, holds my 17" K dark crash no problem. One comment was it was rather pricey (which is relevant to the buyer) but to me, the stand is VERY comparable to the 150-200 units out there. I will be selling most of my Pearl collection and buying three or four more instead of DW or Mapex. August 2019: Still my favorites, still have them. No problems and no indication of wear. Kills me to say it, but the folks at Yamaha did this one really right! My Michael Johnston 21" sits very stable with a good reach across the bass drum. While tinkering with it, the tripod base slipped down to a "flat base" and is tight to snuggle up to the bass drum if you need it. March, 2022: Still my number one and annoyed with all others. The tilt is still 100% sound and still locks rock solid with no effort at all. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE! I didn’t mention the TILT is INFINITE and not of the notch-tooth variety. Also, it only takes a bit of a twist for super tight locking all over. UPDATE: 07/24 Sold all my stands along with one of my DW sets and bought DWs… stupid, stupid, stupid… how do I get them back? My new DWs are excellent, but not the same.

I purchased this stand to replace my Mapex 800 with an 18" crash that's my go to. The quality of yamaha hardware is ridiculous, they look beautiful and are super sturdy with the wide foot base. Barely any visible shake.

Solid and sturdy at the right price
Size: Medium Weight, Single-Braced
Style: Boom Stand
Working drummer here. I love this stand. It's inexpensive, yet has great sturdiness to it. I downgraded from DW 9000 hardware because my case was just too heavy. This was the perfect fit, as it is heavy duty, but not super heavy in weight. It holds my 24" medium weight ride on the boom arm with no pr
ob. Yamaha's hardware is so well engineered. All of the parts hold well without slipping, and without having to over tighten. Very trustworthy. If you are new to the hardware world, rest assured that this is the best bang for your buck- without spending too much, nor sacrificing quality that you'd hope for that'll last you a long time. Totally recommended!

Solid stand for the price
Size: Lightweight, Double-Braced
Style: Boom Cymbal Stand
It’s a solid cymbal stand for the price point. Not as sturdy as my Tama Roadpros, but it’ll do the trick for most crashes. If you’re using the boom for a ride, I’d be hesitant to put anything larger than a 21”.

Excellent quality at the price point
Size: Lightweight, Double-Braced
Style: Boom Cymbal Stand
All of my sits-on-the-floor cymbal stands (with the purchase of this stand) are Yamaha. I’ve never had a problem with any of them that couldn’t be fixed with the most minimal effort. Highly recommended; best midrange stand on the market in my opinion.
