Overview
In a well-balanced stand, the weight of the stand increases toward the bottom. However, we faced a contradiction when trying to use steel material, which transfers vibration better than aluminium, near the actual cymbal itself. Our unconventional stand utilizes a lower center of gravity u hence the bottom of the center pipe of the stand gets very close to the floor to provide better balance to the stand. With minor changes in 2017, we changed the joint part from zinc die cast to aluminum and also from aluminum pipe to steel pipe. Thus we managed to maintain the light weight, but greatly improved the sound and balance of the stand.
Real cymbal sound reproduction
One of the roles of a cymbal stand is to resonate with the cymbal. At the same time, it is an important factor not to block off any overtones. It is rather difficult for aluminum to transfer vibration, but we have solved it by heat-treating the material. This cleared the overtone issue and weight as well after applying steel at the right places.
Ensure stability by lowering gravity center
Gravity center of weight trimmed cymbal stand tends to show near the cymbal. Therefore, it is so designed to lower the gravity center by opening its legs wider.
