I've had a single braced yamaha straight stand for about 25yrs that has never given me a moment of trouble.

Good to know!


I did order one, and it arrived yesterday. It’s a 755. Single braced with a boom that can drop into the upper tube if you want, effectively, a straight stand. The tilt and other adjustments are smooth and the overall weight is sturdy without being overkill. This is for a 21” medium/light ride that needs 8-10” of boom. I notice Yamaha makes some even lighter stands (I think 600 series) that I may get for smaller crashes.

Drum hardware is pretty mundane, so thanks for indulging me here!
