Are PDP 700 Series stands a good choice for a lightweight drum setup?

The PDP 700 Series Light Straight Cymbal Stand is listed at a best new price of £55, while the PDP 700 Series Light Snare Stand is £60. They cover two separate jobs, so choose according to what your setup needs.

Both are labelled “Light”, making them sensible candidates if you’re looking for lightweight hardware. However, the supplied details don’t include actual weights, adjustment ranges or load ratings, so they don’t establish how portable or sturdy either stand is.

My practical advice: check that the cymbal stand reaches your preferred playing position and that the snare stand fits your drum securely. For regular gigging, test stability and clamp security rather than judging by the brand name alone.
