Yamaha HW3 Crosstown – Advanced Lightweight Hardware

The HW‑3 pack from Yamaha is a lightweight, portable hardware set designed for drummers who move their gear frequently (gigs, rehearsals, transport). It includes a set of essential stands for cymbals, snare and hi‑hat — providing a full basic hardware setup that’s easier to carry than traditional heavy stands, yet still stable and durable.

Key Features

• Lightweight but sturdy aluminum build — the stands use aluminum bracing and legs that significantly cut down weight compared to standard stand hardware, while retaining strength and stability.

• Compact channel‑leg design — the stands have “channel-track” or “compact channel” legs that pack down small and offer stable support on a variety of floor surfaces.

• Non‑slip rubber feet — helps prevent shifting or sliding while playing, even under heavy drumming.

• Micro‑wing‑nut hardware adjustments — for easy, precise adjustments when setting up or breaking down.

• More natural, open sound from cymbals and snare — because the stands are lighter and less rigid than heavy chrome stands, they allow more of the instrument’s natural resonance and sustain.

• Complete basic hardware set — included in the pack are: two cymbal stands, one hi‑hat stand, and one snare stand; enough to support a basic drum kit.

• Portability and ease of transport — the total hardware pack is light, and many sellers supply a carrying bag (or sleeves) for easier transport and storage.
