Pacific Drums & Percussion is a name to trust when it comes to percussion items of any kind. They sell quality drums, single and double bass pedals, boom cymbals stands, hi-hat stands, and straight cymbal stands, plus so many random accessories that you might need for any strange reason. Their items work well, look cool, sound good, and last forever. In addition, every item I have bought from them had a solid warranty on it even though I am fairly sure I will not have any problems with them until after the warranty ends. I feel confident playing on PDP products. That is one advantage of playing on quality items; you don’t have to worry about anything. You get to lay back, relax, and enjoy playing the drums instead of worrying about a wobbly stand or a broken pedal. They make jam time wonderful, not only because the stuff is great, but also because they make everything! You might think, “Dang, that particular stand works so well, I’m going to by my double bass pedal from them!” And my friend, that is exactly why PDP is so reliable. They want you to go back and buy more, and they are right. Their products are worth choosing over others.
Get to the point!
Ok, yes, I am writing this article about a particular item. I understand it’s time to talk about the PDP CS800, so here we go. It is really the best way to go if you are a new drummer or low on cash. Basically, it is the cheapest stand you can get that is actually worth buying. It is a straight stand, which has its pros and cons. It is a fair amount cheaper than boom stands, so if you can fit the straight stand in your set, it is much more sympathetic to your wallet, but boom stands are much more space efficient. If you are smaller, have shorter arms, or just have a massive drum set and need to bring everything in closer, you might want to consider paying the extra cash for a stand with a boom arm. If you are a beginner, chances are that you only have a couple cymbals and are low on cash, and therefore you probably will want to go with this stand. I must say that, for the price, this stand is quite excellent. I have used it for quite some time now, and I have not had a single problem with it. It is even durable enough to take apart and put back together many times without breaking. You can also change the height on the stand in case you are changing what cymbal you are putting on it without any issues. The first stand that came with my drum set broke when I just changed the height down a little to put my new ride cymbal on it then put the height back up for my crash. Just two adjustments to the stand and it broke. This is why I went with PDP. Pacific Drums and Percussion, I was told, was a company worth investing in; that’s really what buying a quality item is: an investment.
Stands
Really, if you are looking for a stand, this is a great one to buy for any level of drummer, but if you are looking for something a little nicer, then I have some advice for you. If you have two bass drums or a double bass pedal, then I advise you to go with a hi-hat stand with two legs. You will not be able to fit a three-legged stand in with that much equipment. The more stuff you add to your set, the more important it is to go with boom arms. As you add more “stuff” to your set of drums, which each drummer should do gradually; start adding boom stands and change that hi-hat rig to one with two legs. A PDP HH820 2-Leg Hi-Hat Stand is a great example of a hi-hat stand to get with two legs and the quality name of PDP, and a PDP P/D 800 Boom Cymbal Stand is a fairly cheap yet quality stand with a boom arm. These are just good examples of quality for low price in my opinion. Either way, I highly recommend PDP. Are you looking for something for your drums?
