Conga Stand Quality

[Bachikaze]

I'm considering basket stands for my Tocas. I'm not a professional and I don't play nightly at clubs. I have read other threads on stands, and it seems that the players who posted to them are not happy with anything that's not expensive and able to hold a fully-loaded cement truck.

I would like to find something that is $70 or less each. Are the budget stands OK for the casual player or are they useless?

Thanks.

I use Matador basket stands for my Tocas. Works well.

Thanks, Roka.

Do you have the M294 (drum sits on diagonal "arms") or M292 stand (drum sits in a ring)?

[Roka]

It's like M292, but there are 2 rings. Upper one is to "sit in" the drum and there's one bigger ring below to keep legs firm.
Maybe it's not Matador stand, as it's different from M292 ????
I have never investigated before and I thought those are original Matador stands as my friend got those stands together with Matadors from German e-bay.
He bought 11'' and 11 3/4"" Matadors and I use those stands for my 11 3/4'' and 12.5'' Tocas. Works well.

Thank you, Roka.
