Yamaha Crosstown Concert Snare Stand

The Yamaha Crosstown Concert Snare Stand SS-3H is an ultra-lightweight aluminum snare drum stand for standing performance. A dramatic reduction in weight enhances handling and portability, significantly reducing the burden on the player. This revolutionary snare drum stand is not only lightweight and compact, but it is also easy to set up, durable, and does not interfere with the natural acoustic tone of the drum used. By using aluminum alloy for most of the stand’s structure, its weight has been reduced by about 50% compared to steel snare stands (in-house survey). The SS-3H is also very compact when folded, providing a considerable improvement in portability. Although the SS-3H is primarily constructed of lightweight aluminum pipe and aluminum castings, steel is used in a few small-but-critical areas that enhance overall strength. The legs are made of aluminum U-channel (channel legs) with a cross-section designed to maximize strength and durability as well as stability. This also makes the stand comfortable to hold for positioning and adjustment. Specially-designed rubber feet prevent slippage while the stand is in use.
