Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

A direct heir of the flat cymbal stands from the 1960s, this stand revisits the era's aesthetics and simplicity while adding modern precision. The result of TAMA's expertise, it fits into a "classic hardware" approach that prioritizes lightness and stage efficiency. As the product philosophy summarizes, "the 1960s stand comes back to life thanks to TAMA's expertise and passion," a vision praised by renowned drummers such as Peter Erskine.

Who This Cymbal Stand Is For

Perfect for drummers from beginner to advanced levels seeking discreet hardware that is quick to set up and easy to transport. It excels in jazz, bop, pop, folk, acoustic music, and studio settings where cymbal subtlety and responsiveness are paramount. Ideal for thin to medium cymbals (crash, ride, splash) in controlled playing contexts.

Features and Innovations

The "Flat Base" allows the stand to slide as close as possible to the bass drum or other elements, optimizing every centimeter on the floor. The 9 mm upper rod ensures secure cymbal holding while keeping weight low. The fine-step tilter permits adjustments in increments of about 10 degrees to precisely regain the desired playing angle. The folding and compact design reduces bulk, while the 19.1 mm base tube guarantees sufficient rigidity for everyday use.

Sound Characteristics

A lightweight stand lets the cymbal "breathe" better: vibrations are freer, projection more natural, and micro-dynamics better preserved. This results in livelier agogics, with openness and sustain close to vintage setups. For sensitive recordings, this minimalist approach favors a more airy timbre and a more nuanced response, particularly appreciated in studio and acoustic contexts.
