Flip Grip Basket (Pat. Pend.)

By flipping the basket arms, the size becomes adjustable, accommodating instruments with diameters from 10-inch to 14-inch. Also compatible with wood hoops*.

A single stand supports a wide range of setups, delivering outstanding versatility.

*Please note that specifications and dimensions may vary by manufacturer, and compatibility is not guaranteed with all wood hoop products. Please check the specifications of each product before use and use at your own discretion.

Ball Clamp Tilter

Yamaha’s proprietary Ball Clamp design enables smooth and almost infinite adjustability to the snare basket angle.

With the simple turn of a wing nut, the snare drum can be set to an optimal position for any drummer, while quick adjustments are easy to make and secure. In addition to fluid angle adjustment, the ball clamp tilter allows rotational adjustment for detailed strainer placement.

To make the design even more practical, the basket arm’s central axis is precisely aligned with the upper pipe, delivering outstanding stability and allows for intuitive, stress-free adjustment. The compact and simple design of the stand allows angles to be unchanged during tear down and transit, ensuring your snare drum is always in the right position.

Tone-Enhancing Basket Rubber

To further enhance the natural resonance of the snare drum, a newly designed basket rubber arm has been incorporated into the stand.

The basket rubber flexes dynamically under impact, helping to minimize unwanted vibrations from being transferred between the drum to the stand. This allows the drum shell to resonate more freely, bringing out its full tonal character.

Yamaha’s frequency analysis highlights the noticeable shift, in side-by-side recording tests against previous stand models using the same snare drum. The Tone-Enhancing Basket Rubber significantly increases low-frequency sustain, particularly in the lower register.

Artists who have tested the stand describe the sound as offering an ideal balance of focus, tightness, and enhanced low-end fullness. The result is a clear, articulate tone with a strong core presence that remains distinct no matter what the musical style or setting.

Snare Basket Adjustment Knob

The ergonomic grip design fits naturally in the hand. A built-in metal washer supports smooth tightening with minimal effort, combining comfortable handling while keeping the basket securely locked in place.

Large Rubber Feet and Spikes

Oversized rubber feet maximize grip, keeping the stand firmly in place. Built-in spikes extend with a simple push, allowing quick switching depending on the floor surface for optimal stability.
