Title: Heavy duty boom stand recomendations.
Post by: Teen Wolf Blitzer on March 26, 2008, 12:53:58 PM
EDIT:  I ended up going to Guitar Center with gear and doing my own tests.  Went with the DR Pro's.  Highly recommend these stands!  Blew the K&M,s and Hercules's out of the water.  Rock solid and heavy.   ;D

I've read great things about all 3 stands.  Keep in mind I'm looking for sturdy, durable, somewhat heavy booms.  Busman has the DR Pro's and they are beefy and solid so I like them a lot but the Hercules seems the heaviest of the 3.  Any thoughts or other stand recommendations?
