I have used many high-end stands and boom arms in 30 years of drumming, and I love these products. They stand up very well when compared to them in my opinion.
Quality of Build:
The arms and swivel mechanism are very well made and finished. The arms are very steady and the beautiful finish on the arms allows for fantastic grip for add-ons, and attachments. I like the fact that the arms are a medium length not too long but not too short. The chrome finish is of a higher standard than other Millenium booms that I purchased and was very disappointed by-these are very good-professional gigging standard I think.
Summary:
I've used these boom arms at work, gigging them up and down the country I live in without any issues, and that says a lot because many expensive stands I've used in even recently, have failed ( even whilst being very conscious of over-tightening screws and bolts). They are reliable and frankly nicely designed in the looks department-so they won't hurt your eyes either. They are versatile, strong, and fit both racks or stands. They are wonderful for the price and they have solid steel/chrome turning screws-no plastic or resin moulded tops or such like- I highly recommend them.
