The Roadpro hi-hat inherits many of the great features from TAMA's Iron Cobra hi-hats.
The Tama Road Pro Hi-Hat Cymbal stand represents years of listening to the problems and suggestions of touring drummers and years of prototypes and rigorous real-life road testing. Tama's line of professional percussion hardware provides a whole new level of simplicity and durability for professional drummers.
The Road Pro stand gives you all the features you'd expect in pro cymbal stands, such as 28.6 diameter bases and double-braced legs. There's also a slew of internal design features that you can't see but will come to love. Best of all, the Tama Road Pro Hi-Hat Stand is offered at a price you might not expect in cymbal hardware this good.
Nylon Washers
By inserting nylon washers into the leg stand joints Tama has improved durability and made the leg action much smoother.
Footboard Angle Adjuster
Allows much easier footboard angle adjustments.
5-Way Tension Adjustment
Five different levels of tension can be achieved quickly by using the five easily visible settings.
Non-Loosening Tension Rod
Specially shaped plastic and metal nuts fit together perfectly to keep the cymbal rod from loosening while playing.
Swivel Foot
Since the foot pedal can be rotated around the tripod base, the Swivel Foot feature greatly expands floor space and set-up flexibility.
Spare-The-Rod-Tenstion Rod Protector
No more tension rods getting bent out of shape during transport. With Spare-The-Rod, you can save your tension rod the rigors of the road by packing it in the specially designed upper section pipe. It's a small, but very significant TAMA hardware innovation.
Steel Insert Nut
A threaded steel insert nut placed inside the tripod base is much stronger and therefore less prone to stripping than the tradition method of cutting the threads directly in to the die-cast section.
Simply having thicker piping doesn't make truly professional hardware. What makes hardware professional is stability, durability and easy serviceability. Which is why Roadpro features all kinds of innovations that are small in size, but huge in results.
Die-Cast Joint
A die-cast joint combines the T-nut/bolt with a pressure plate with a nylon bushing. With this design, the removal and replacement of worn bolts or bushings is fast and easy. Simply having thicker piping doesn't make truly professional hardware.
