Millenium DSS-718B Stage Snare Stand

I purchased this snare stand for a standard 14" practice snare (with mesh head). It comes in a plain box and plastic bag and in two parts, the top snare holder and the legs. Assembly was fairly simple; just sliding the top shaft into the base (after loosening it) and then tightening it all back up again.

For my main kit, I use a Yamaha stand so I have one of the best hardware names in the business to compare it to. The stand does its job well and it feels very sturdy. The feet are thick and chunky and definitely over-compensate in that department. It grips the snare extremely well and the only bad parts about this stand are that the various screw threads do feel quite rough and you'll find that tightening various parts of the stand take more effort, but that's virtually the only thing I disliked about it.

Sturdy is the word you'll use to define this product when you first touch it and grab it.

Feels very well produced and the materials though you may think they must be cheap for the price that's not true at all, is very heavy and stable.

I bought It to be used with a Yamaha DD-65 and with some snares in live situations, it is heavy indeed but I prefer it like that because of the increased stability.

The metal doesn't make any sounds that may hijack a recording situation, and is as easy to use as opening it, adjusting, placing and start to play.

Trying to find something bad is really difficult in this product, but maybe opening it is a little hard, a child wouldn't be able to open the legs for example, but an adult mustn't have much trouble.

There's not much more to say about it, that what I've said already, if you need a snare stand and need something really cheap, then this is it without doubting.
