Yamaha SS3 Crosstown Snare Stand — Lightweight Aluminum Hardware for Gigging Drummers

The Yamaha SS3 Crosstown Snare Stand is a lightweight aluminum snare stand designed for drummers who transport their kit to gigs, rehearsals, and sessions. Weighing 1.45 kg, it cuts a noticeable slice off a hardware bag compared to traditional stands, while the channel-track aluminum bracing keeps the drum stable under heavy strokes. This model is the right choice for gigging drummers who need a portable, road-ready stand that still feels solid under the snare.

What sets the Crosstown snare stand apart

Three channel-track aluminum legs and a satin-finished aluminum basket are the standout design choices here. The channel-track leg profile resists flexing better than flat-base lightweight stands, and the satin finish stays fingerprint- and scuff-resistant over time. A new micro wing nut lets the drummer fine-tune the basket angle quickly between songs.

Build and stability — Yamaha SS3 Crosstown snare stand specs

Stability on stage depends on the leg design and the feet, and this stand addresses both. The three channel legs spread wider than typical lightweight stands, and the non-slip rubber feet grip carpeted and hard stages alike. Reviewers consistently note that the stand does not shift during rim shots or loud backbeats.

• The leg design utilizes 3 channel legs, providing a wider stance that effectively resists tipping under heavy playing.
• Feet: Non-slip rubber — grips stage surfaces without scratching
• Basket Arms: 3 arms — supports standard 13"–14" snare drums securely

For drummers hauling gear to and from the car, every kilogram matters. The SS3 Crosstown folds down compactly and slips into a standard hardware bag alongside cymbal and hi-hat stands from the same Yamaha Crosstown line.

• With a total weight of 1.45 kg, it is roughly a third of the weight of traditional snare stands.
• Height Range: 42-58 cm — covers seated and standing playing positions
• Material: Aluminum with satin finish — lightweight and resistant to fingerprints and scuffs
