The Tama HC32W Roadpro Straight Cymbal Stand is a chrome-plated cymbal stand, with a 28.6mm diameter base section tubing, a quick-set tilter, a quick-set cymbal mate, a Gride-Tite grip joint, and double braced legs. Tama's toothless Quick-Set Tilter holds its position using the friction of six smooth metal disc plates instead of traditional toothed gears, so you can adjust it to any desired angle. This mechanism also has a more durable structure than a conventional gear tilter. By simply gripping and pressing the two buttons on the both sides, users can attach and remove the Cymbal Mate with just one touch, making cymbals setup/breakdown a snap. Like Tama's standard Cymbal Mate, fine adjustments to the cymbal's swinging motion can be made by rotating the unit.
The cymbal bottom protects the cymbal's center hole from the tilter's shaft and threads. If part of the nylon sleeve wears out, you can continue to use the cymbal bottom by turning it upside down. By inserting nylon washers into the leg stand joints Tama have improved durability and made the leg action much smoother. The new Glide-Tite Grip Joint allows for a more secure attachment by using a metal-to-metal contact point. This provides an extremely solid anchor and complete isolation for a tom or cymbal. Because the stand does not move with the instrument, the natural resonance of that instrument is maximized. Placing a threaded steel insert nut inside the tripod base provides much more strength and makes stripping much less likely than with the traditional method of cutting the threads directly into the die-cast section.
