Yamaha HS850 Hi-Hat Stand

Stable, powerful, and built for demanding performers

The Yamaha HS850 is a heavy-duty hi-hat stand featuring a chain-linked drive pedal, 11-step spring tension adjustment, and three double-braced rotatable legs with big rubber feet for maximum stability. With a height range of 70–90cm, cymbal angle adjustment, and pedal-side legs that open to 150°, the HS850 is built for drummers who demand precise control, solid footing, and reliable performance across demanding live and studio applications.

Chain-Linked Drive Pedal — Smooth & Responsive Feel

The HS850 features a chain-linked drive pedal that delivers a smooth, responsive feel for hi-hat technique across a wide range of playing styles — providing consistent resistance and reliable mechanical response for demanding live and studio performance.

11-Step Spring Tension Adjustment — Precise Pedal Control

The HS850 features 11-step spring tension adjustment, allowing drummers to fine-tune their preferred pedal resistance with precise, repeatable settings — from lighter, more open feel to tighter, more controlled tension — to suit individual playing preferences and musical contexts.

Three Double-Braced Rotatable Legs — Maximum Stability

The HS850 features three double-braced rotatable legs — providing significantly greater stability than single-braced designs under demanding playing conditions. The legs can be repositioned for optimal placement around the drum kit, with pedal-side legs opening to 150° for maximum footprint and stability during performance. Big rubber feet help prevent the stand from sliding on stage and rehearsal room floors.

Cymbal Angle Adjustment — Precise Hi-Hat Setup

The HS850 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 HS850 adjusts between 70cm and 90cm, covering a wide range of playing heights suitable for seated drummers of varying sizes and preferences.
