Serious drummers trust their snare drums to Tama's Roadpro series, and for good reason! With its metal-to-metal contact point, the HS800W's Glide-Tite Grip Joint provides an extremely secure attachment and superior isolation for your drum, bringing out its natural resonance. Its Escape Claws also bring out the most in your drum, allowing it to float instead of clamping it down tight and killing the resonance. The snare basket itself allows the HS800W to accommodate a wide range of 12" to 15" snare drums, as its unequally spaced, asymmetrical basket arms and independently rotating basket won't interfere with your drum's strainer and snares, a still lets you position the drum where you like.
