Tama HS80W Roadpro Snare Drum Stand  From Tama

Glide-Tite Grip Joint
Our 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.

Quick-Set Tilter (US. PAT.NO.7385127) for Snare Stand
TAMA's patented toothless Quick-Set Tilter marks another TAMA advancement in hardware. Relying on basic principles of physics, the 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.

Nylon Washers
By inserting nylon washers into the leg stand joints we have improved durability and made the leg action much smoother!

Swiveling Basket
Unequally spaced basket arms eliminate contact between the arms and the snare strainer or the snare butt, whether the snare drum is 8 or 10 lug. An extra-large arm adjustment knob provides easy tightening and loosening.

Swivel Basket (US. PAT.NO.6384308)
Asymmetrically spaced basket arms allow an 8 or 10 lug drum to be held without interference with its strainer, butt or lugs. Since the basket rotates independently from the stand, you can place the strainer in any position needed.

Escape Claws (US. PAT.NO.6723907)
TAMA's Escape Claws rubber cushions allow the snare drum to "float" on the basket arms for improved resonance. 
In addition, they help reduce fatigue by softening the impact of snare drum playing on your arms and wrists.
