Mapex released a butt-load of new gear today, and one of those was the 700-series boom stand seen above. I honestly haven’t bought any new drum gear or hardware in several years, so I’m not the most up-to-date with what companies have what features, but I really love the new quick-release lever for the head portion of this stand. I think something like that would offer lots more leverage and thus give me an easier time in adjusting the tilt of the cymbal compared to the traditional T-styled tighteners.
