Use Cases

Installation
Setup is straightforward and requires no specialized tools. Begin by securing the Tri-leg base using the Key Lock system. Adjust the height to your desired position (ranging from 24″ to 58″) using the hinged adjustments. Once the cymbal is mounted on the tilter, tighten the brake and set the memory lock to save your height and angle preferences for future use.
Compatibility
This stand is compatible with all standard cymbal types, including crashes, rides, and splashes. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into any drum hardware setup, regardless of brand, provided the cymbal utilizes a standard center hole.
