Features

• Quick release nut: By pinching the movable part on the side of the quick release nut, you can attach and detach it instantly, making cymbal installation quick and effortless. Once attached, turn and tighten the nut to adjust the cymbal's swing and resonance to suit your preferences. It also has a unique locking mechanism built in that securely holds the cymbal in place, providing excellent stability allowing you to concentrate on playing, without worrying about cymbals coming loose. In addition, the screw is made of durable metal, assuring long-lasting reliability even with the most intense playing.
• Sound enhancement cymbal washer: The enhanced cymbal washer is made of a newly developed material. By combining a soft material (outer/black part) and a hard material (inner/blue part), it fully brings out the cymbal’s natural resonance. For players who want longer sustain, the washer can also be used with only the hard material (inner/blue part), making it adaptable to different playing styles.
• Step Free Tilter: The stepless cymbal tilter allows smooth, infinite angle adjustment, letting you set your cymbal exactly where you want it. This provides greater comfort and freedom while performing.
• Hinged Boom Tilter Clamp: The hinged tilter clamp’s shape has been optimized through meticulous analyses and refinement. It securely fastens the boom arm on three sides, and only requires light tightening to provide sufficient holding power. In addition, the memory lock mechanism holds the cymbals firmly in place, allowing for confident playing.
• Boom/Straight Convertible Tilter Mechanism: By storing the boom arm inside the upper pipe, the stand can also be used as a straight stand. This design makes it more compact when carried, improving portability and setting convenience.
• Wing Bolt/Wing Nut: While maintaining a traditional design, the shape has been refined to reduce strain on the hands even when tightened firmly, to ensure comfortable handling, during even the longest sessions.
