Description

Ball Clamp Tilter:

The SS8W uses Yamaha’s Ball Clamp Tilter to provide smooth and highly flexible adjustment of the snare drum angle. Rather than restricting the player to predetermined positions, the ball mechanism allows the basket to be tilted to suit individual playing technique and kit configuration.

The basket can also be rotated independently, making it easy to position the snare strainer and controls exactly where required.

Tone-Enhancing Basket Rubber:

Specially designed basket rubbers support the snare drum while reducing unnecessary restriction and vibration transfer between the drum and stand. This allows the shell to resonate more freely, helping preserve the natural tone and sustain of the instrument.

Secure Basket Adjustment:

The basket adjustment mechanism provides smooth control when fitting the snare drum, allowing it to be held securely without unnecessary pressure. Its ergonomic design makes adjustments easy by hand when changing drums or setting up for a performance.

Double-Braced Stability:

A robust double-braced tripod base provides a solid foundation for the snare drum during energetic playing. Large rubber feet improve floor contact and stability, while the legs fold down for easier transportation and storage.

Refined Hardware Design:
  • Double-braced legs provide dependable support
  • Ball tilter allows precise adjustment of the playing angle
  • Basket can be rotated to optimise snare positioning
  • Refined wing nuts provide comfortable and easy adjustment
  • Large rubber feet provide secure floor contact
  • Compact folding design simplifies transport and storage
Ideal For:
  • Professional and serious recreational drummers
  • Studio recording and live performance
  • Regular rehearsals and gigging
  • Players requiring precise snare drum positioning
  • Drummers looking to preserve the natural resonance of their snare drum
  • Acoustic and hybrid drum setups
