Its stepless Step Free Tilter allows smooth and precise angle adjustments for quick setup and optimal positioning to suit any playing style.

Features
Step Free Tilter
The stepless basket tilter allows precise and smooth angle adjustment, letting you set your snare drum exactly as you like. It ensures quick setup and optimal positioning for any playing style.
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 minimise 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.
Our 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. With a built-in metal washer at the top, the knob allows smooth tightening with minimal effort, combining comfortable handling while keeping the basket securely locked in place.
