Millenium CS-718 Stage Cymbal Stand

Purchased two of these stands to go on my practice kit and i have to say i am happy as they fulfill their roll. Very adjustable, they go up very high, they are perhaps a bit tall at the minimum setting for my liking, but I've learnt to live with this. On thing to note is that the screw at the top doubles as a cymbal protector and the threaded bit is therefore thinner than most stands and will not take regular wing nuts. Also make sure that you regularly tighten the small screw at the side of each 'level' as this is prone to loosening and falling out and therefore makes the stand swivel around.

I bought three stands of this Millenium line (this one, one for Hit-Hats and another for a Ride Cymbal) for my first custom drum set.
Well, I must say that you usally get what you pay for: the stand isn't amazing but it does the job in a superb way. It stays in position and it's relatively easy to handle with the clamps.
The only complain I have is in the topper memory clamp - it resists to the movement, and got a little bit loose by now (probably because it has been used too many times).
You can perfectly use heavy cymbals. You may want to glue the rubbers on the bottom because they probably are going to fall.
The delivery was very good and quick. In this range of prices it's surelly one of the best options if you want a reliable stand for your cymbals.

Use this stand in a live environment often and it has stood the rigors of playing very well. Purchased initially because it was the most affordable stand I wasn't expecting much however on receiving the item I was pleasantly surprised with its sturdy construction. For the gigging musician who's gear is getting stripped down, bagged up, chucked into vans etc the Millenium products offer great build quality at a very affordable price. Much better than the branded stands I was replacing. I have since bought more Millenium products and was equally impressed with them. As always the service from Thomann was excellent and delivery was quick and easy. I would recommend these products definitely.
