I got this so I could practice at work without having the pad flat on a table. Works wonders and I'm glad I got this more expensive one than the cheaper stands out there. No real complains except that I wish you could set it lower than its lowest setting, but not really a problem and more a personal thing. If your pad is resonating too much (since it's basically free floating, and depends on the pad), just put some finned gaffa or silver tape on the underside of the pad. Highly recommended and well worth the price!
