Yamaha HS740A Hi-Hat Stand

Reliable, portable, and built for the working drummer

The Yamaha HS740A is a medium-weight hi-hat stand featuring a chain-linked drive pedal with adjustable spring tension, single-braced rotatable legs, and a footplate that folds flat for easy portability. With a height range of 70–90cm, cymbal angle adjustment, and big rubber feet for stability, the HS740A is a reliable and practical hi-hat stand suited to rehearsals, gigs, and general-purpose drum kit setups.

Chain-Linked Drive Pedal — Smooth & Responsive Feel

The HS740A features a chain-linked drive pedal that delivers a smooth, responsive feel for hi-hat technique across a wide range of playing styles. The chain-link design provides consistent resistance and reliable mechanical response, making it a dependable choice for gigging and rehearsal use.

Adjustable Spring Tension — Customisable Pedal Response

The spring tension on the HS740A is fully adjustable, allowing drummers to dial in their preferred pedal resistance and response — from lighter, more open feel to tighter, more controlled tension — to suit individual playing preferences and musical contexts.

Single-Braced Rotatable Legs — Stability & Positioning Flexibility

The HS740A features three single-braced legs with a rotatable design, allowing the legs to be repositioned for optimal placement around the drum kit. The pedal-side legs open to 150° for maximum stability during performance, while big rubber feet help prevent the stand from sliding on stage and rehearsal room floors.

Footplate Folds Flat — Easy Portability

The footplate folds flat for easy storage and transport — a practical feature for drummers who regularly transport their hardware between rehearsals, gigs, and sessions.

Cymbal Angle Adjustment — Precise Hi-Hat Setup

The HS740A includes cymbal angle adjustment, allowing drummers to position their hi-hat cymbals at their preferred playing angle for comfortable and precise technique.

Felt Cymbal Support — Cymbal Protection

The cymbal support features felt material to help protect hi-hat cymbals from metal-to-metal contact during use.

Height Range — 70–90cm

The HS740A adjusts between 70cm and 90cm, covering a wide range of playing heights suitable for seated drummers of varying sizes and preferences.
