Being Suspended - in a Good Way

Help me give my students a new suspended cymbal stand, which will allow them to be able to play the instrument more musically and with greater nuance.

My Project

My band students rock! This past school year has shown how much they want to learn...and can handle more than I thought possible. In particular, I have quite a few percussion students who are ready to move to the next level.

This suspended cymbal stand will allow my students to play with better technique and more musical expression.

Countless professional and collegiate music groups use this piece of equipment and it would certainly help level up our percussion equipment.

By allowing the cymbal to vibrate more freely, students can create more variety in volume levels and allow more expression in their performance. While it might just be a shiny piece of brass...the cymbal adds much-needed tension and release to key moments in almost every band piece!
