£24.95 - £59.95

Comprehensive range of hardware that is divided into three levels: light, medium and heavy. All weights sit on well-proportioned double-braced tripods, while features increase with each step up. Above the lightweight sub-range, cymbal stands are three-sectioned while the hi-hat stand tripods swivel. Memory locks are found on the heavyweight models.

1. Stagg 25/50/500/1000 Series
£15 - £41

Scorching value stands from the Chinese manufacturer seemingly bent on world domination. The four different levels of stand vary from merely functional through to heavy duty, with all of the stands in the 1000 Series sporting menacing-looking spikes on each foot. Double-braced tripods feature throughout all four ranges.
