Great stand, great adjustability, just a little too short.
The ball joint is great for a snare stand! Yamaha makes top notch stuff, there's no doubt. However, the snare stand should allow for about 3 more inches in height for me, because I am very tall. This is my only complaint about this stand.
I’ve tried several other ball/socket snare stands and this is the best by far. The small footprint, double braced base makes positioning between pedals easier without sacrificing stability. Highly recommended.
