I have been using this stand for a few months now and I have to say that I love it. It is of a high quality construction, it has the necessary and a few more adjustments as the tension or the screw in the lower hi-hat cymbal (not all have it). Solid, truly stable... perhaps the only drawback is that the screw that goes under the top part of the hi-hat, tends to screw off a bit more often than I would like, it is also a piece made of aluminium (don't understand why) and not a more solid kind of metal, as the rest of the stand. For the rest, I truly love this stand.
