The Yamaha HS-650A Lightweight Single Braced Hi-Hat Stand is a compact, portable, and reliable hi-hat stand that is popular with gigging musicians and beginners. It features a chain-linked drive system for smooth action and single-braced legs for a balance between stability and lightweight transport.
Features and benefits
- Lightweight and compact The HS-650A is an ideal choice for drummers who need to transport their gear frequently. The single-braced legs and overall lightweight design make it easy to carry.
- Smooth and responsive feel The chain-linked footboard provides a fluid and responsive action, which many reviewers praise. The feel can be adjusted for a variety of playing styles.
- Durable construction This stand is noted for being a sturdy and durable “workhorse” despite its lighter weight. Some reviewers, however, have noted that the plastic spring tension adjuster can be a weak point over time.
- Space-saving design The single-braced legs take up less space on the stage or in the practice room than bulkier double-braced stands, and the footboard folds flat for quick packing and setup. This also allows for easier placement of a double bass pedal.
- Excellent value Many users feel the stand offers excellent performance and features for its price.
