Drum Workshop, Inc. Cymbal Stand (DWCP9700)

Just like youd expect

Everyone who attends a festival will see 90% of the drummers that can afford them use DW. And the quality is high. But it really bothers me when American companies seem to trade on the "Made in USA" quality, but manufacture in Taiwan.I could be wrong, but I thought I used to buy DW products that were made in the USA, but although I never see anywhere on their site, or ads, or specs where they make their products. When you receive them, be ready to learn that you just sent part of your cash overseas.I used to live in Germany and Germans by nature almost always buy German made products. Good for them. There is nothing wrong with being patriotic and taking care of your own.So if you like DW for what they are, buy them. If you, like I do, like to support my country, try looking elsewhere.And the practice of deceit in the music industry is getting rediculous. "Designed in the US", "Engineered in the US" - Code for "Not made in the USA". I looked at an amp from a big US company that prominantly displayed all of their ties to America, but nearly had to dissassemble the product before finding the "Made in China" sticker. Do your homework before opening your wallet.

I got this today to replace my smaller 800 series PDP stand. I wanted to go with the heavy duty since i have an 18" crash and a 8" tom attached.It took me awhile after setting up, but there was a rattling that i had to troubleshoot. I ended up having to drop the smallest tube down while extending the middle tube. It led me to believe that the mid tube was vibrating inside the large tube with each contact.Now that it's been troubleshot, it's a great heavy duty stand that feels rock solid.Recommended.Next purchase will be the 9000DW hi-hat stand

Great stand

I already had several and needed 2 more. Best cymbal stands imaginable.
