Your hi hat stand is one of the most important pieces of hardware on your kit. You interact with it constantly. Every groove, every pattern, every song. If it is fighting you even a little bit you feel it in your playing. The Yamaha HS-740A is the stand that gets out of your way and lets you just play.

The chain linked drive is smooth and responsive. There is no slop, no lag, no dead feeling between your foot and the cymbals. Whether you are playing tight closed hi hats on a funk groove, splashing them open on a jazz ride pattern, or working the pedal hard on a fast rock beat the HS-740A responds exactly the way you expect it to every single time. That consistency is what separates a good hi hat stand from a great one.

Tension adjustment lets you dial in the feel to match your playing style. Prefer a lighter touch with quick rebound? Set it there. Like a heavier feel with more resistance for power playing? The HS-740A handles that too. Once you find your setting it stays locked in through the whole gig without drifting.

The rotating legs are a feature that drummers who play tight stage setups genuinely appreciate. Being able to rotate the legs means you can position the stand exactly where you need it without fighting for floor space around your bass drum pedal or other hardware. Single braced construction keeps the weight manageable without sacrificing the stability you need when you are really working the pedal.

At 152 dollars this is a serious hi hat stand at a price that makes sense for working drummers. The HS-740A is available at both of our showrooms so whether you are in Charleston West Virginia or in New Albany Ohio near Columbus you can come in and try it in person. Our team is happy to help you put together a complete hardware setup that works for your kit and your playing style.

Smooth. Responsive. Reliable. This is the hi hat stand your playing deserves.
