This is a quality stand, double-braced hardware and large footplate. I bought it to use with the Roland Hi-Hat from a VAD370 kit and it works perfectly. The only problem is if you are a hi-hat stepper like I am and raise/lower your foot, the stand wobbles on the two back legs; I have tried adjusting it but to no avail. It makes it look like a cheap stand which it isn't which is disappointing.
