Yamaha SS9WR snare stand

Product Description

The top model in Yamaha's new snare stand series. The SS9WR has a reversible Flip Grip basket that takes drums from 10" to 14", a ball clamp tilter for practically unlimited angle adjustment, and double-braced legs with retractable spikes. A stand for players who switch between snares or want a stand that keeps its settings from gig to gig.

• Flip Grip basket (patent pending) switches between 10" and 14" by flipping the basket arms
• Ball Clamp Tilter with stepless angle and rotation adjustment from a single wing nut
• Tone-Enhancing Basket Rubber lets the snare drum resonate more freely
• New Snare Basket Adjustment Knob with ergonomic grip and built-in metal washer
• Large rubber feet with one-touch spikes
• Double-braced legs

Flip Grip basket for several snare sizes

Flipping the basket arms changes the basket size, so one stand can support drums from 10" to 14". There is no need to overly narrow the basket for a small drum. Yamaha states the basket also works with wood hoops, but dimensions vary between makers so check the specification first.

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 exactly where you want it. The ball clamp also allows rotational adjustment, so the strainer ends up where you need it. The basket arm's central axis is aligned with the upper pipe for outstanding stability. The angle stays unchanged during teardown and transit, so your snare is in the same position next time.

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 a clear increase in low-frequency sustain compared with previous stand models. Artists who tested the stand describe the sound as focused and tight with enhanced low-end fullness.

Solid footing

Oversized rubber feet maximise grip on the floor. When you need spikes on a rug, simply push them out, ballpoint-pen style. The angled legs make it easier for the spikes to contact the ground. 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 reduces strain on the hands even when tightened firmly.

Who It's For

For drummers who play several snares in different sizes, or who want a very stable stand with spikes. The SS9WR replaces the SS950 in Yamaha's line-up.
