I use this stand to hold my snare drum (rather than toms or any other drum).
I instantly loved the ball joint on this stand which means that you can adjust the angle of the snare through a continuous range of motion. I haven't owned the stand for long (about 1 month), but I have had no problems with the durability of this ball joint so far and it feels solid.
The asymmetrical arms look strange at first, but I immediately saw the benefit in them when placing my snare into it. I have had problems in the past with a Gibraltar snare stand that only allows my snare to be orientated in one position on the stand due to the lugs imposing on the arms- however with the Tama stand my snare fits perfectly. The retractable foot spikes are a nice touch, too.
Overall an extremely stable stand with some nice innovative features. I have never been disappointed with any Tama hardware purchase, and this is no anomaly.
