Evans ARF-STD Practice Pad Stand

You can only play on the pad alone, otherwise if two people are playing like in a teacher/student kind of scenario, it tilts either left or right. If you aim at the center of the pad and play alone then it can work, but still it tilts like crazy. Also pad comes unscrewed quite easily and the stand starts to produce metallic clang which is a little annoying but acceptable. Overall not quite satisfied for the price. Not recommended

I bought this to use with an Evans Practice Pad. Do NOT over-tighten or you'll strip out the threads on your pad. I'd probably fault the pad for poor design rather than this stand. I find the stand to be a bit short for standing and a bit tall for some of my seated practice. My wife has never complained. This stand has only seen light use in my house. So far the adjustments used have not shifted during play and making adjustments is very easy. I would buy this stand again.

If you are heavy handed, or use heavy sticks like Aluminium Sticks then I would not recommend this. It will wear out the Break Style Hight Lock and will slowly lower itself. So, it you are heavy handed, try to find one with a metal rod to lock the hight in place. Other than that, it is perfect. For strength training, I take the pad off and place it on a solid surface. I use it to practice daily but keep my strokes lighter than my usual, which is an excellent exercise too.

I've owned this stand for four years and it's still solid as a rock. Lightweight, fits in a corner, and is perfect for my practice pad.
