I had this question posed via email and not sure. This stand came with my Kent set. This is a flat-based stand with Japan stamped on one of the legs.
The question is, there is a piece that mounts on top (i guess) of the cymbal, it has 3 rivets per side. In the photo the piece in question is dangling down, but it does fold up and meets at the cymbal post.
Does anyone have an idea who made it and function (other than rivets..lol)? click on photos for bigger pics
