Yamaha SS8W snare stand

Product Description

The SS8W is a double-braced snare stand with Yamaha's Ball Clamp Tilter, a ball-joint tilter that gives almost unlimited angle adjustment from a single wing nut. The new basket rubber lets the snare resonate more freely, and the new adjustment knob makes tightening the basket easy. A stable stand for players who want to set the snare exactly and have it sit the same way every time.

• Ball Clamp Tilter with stepless angle and rotation adjustment
• Tone-Enhancing Basket Rubber for freer resonance
• New Snare Basket Adjustment Knob with ergonomic grip and built-in metal washer
• Large rubber feet
• Double-braced legs
• Refined wing nuts that reduce strain on the hands

Ball clamp instead of gears

Yamaha's Ball Clamp Tilter gives smooth, almost infinite adjustment of the basket angle. Turn one wing nut and set the snare where you want it. The ball clamp also allows rotational adjustment for detailed strainer placement. The basket arm's central axis is aligned with the upper pipe for outstanding stability, and the angle stays unchanged during teardown and transit.

More tone from the snare

The newly designed basket rubber uses an air pocket between the rubber and the arm and flexes under impact, reducing the vibrations transferred from the drum to the stand and letting the shell resonate more freely. Yamaha's frequency analysis shows increased low-frequency sustain compared with previous stand models.

Details you notice every day

The basket adjustment knob has an ergonomic grip and a built-in metal washer at the top, allowing smooth tightening with minimal effort. Oversized rubber feet maximise grip, the leg base has a resin spacer for smooth, quiet movement, and the clamp base holds firmly without overtightening. The wing nuts have a refined shape that is easier on the hands.

Who It's For

For drummers who want a stable, double-braced stand with free angle adjustment. The SS8W replaces the SS850 in Yamaha's line-up.
