YAMAHA NEW HARDWARE MODELS

Yamaha has announced its next-generation drum hardware lineup, featuring three all-new products and significant upgrades across its range, from lightweight entry-level options to heavyweight professional-grade series. These models deliver greater setup versatility, en- hanced tonal performance and the reliability trusted by drummers worldwide. The next-generation lineup includes six updated snare stand models (SS9WR, SS8W, SS7, SS6W, SS6 and SS62), eight upgraded cymbal and hardware models (CS8W, CS7, CS6W, CS6T, CS6, CBW8, CH8 and CH8S), and three new additions: the SS7S Low-Positioned Snare Stand, QRN8 Quick Release Nut and SECW8 Sound Enhance- ment Cymbal Washer. Additional innovations across the lineup include a Step-Free Tilter for smooth, precise angle adjustment, an ergonomic Snare Basket Adjustment Knob for effortless setup and secure positioning, and newly developed Tone-Enhancing Basket Rubber that helps preserve natural drum resonance. Other upgrades throughout the range improve setup flexibility, playing freedom and tonal control through features such as ball-clamp tilters, the QRN8 Quick Release Nut and the SECW8 Sound Enhancement Cymbal Washer. {usa.yamaha.com}
