Great vintage looking stand I put my 19"crash on. Of course you can not compare the 6000 series stands stability to the 9000 stands. But it does the job just fine. It's really light, simple and if you like the look of it, it will definately hold your cymbal in it's place. The only thing I miss, compared to the regular 6000 series, is the lack of memory clamps. DW put memory clamp on the 6000 ultralight snare stand, but it can't be found as a aftermarked product. They should do that on all their ultralight stands.
