Yamaha HS850 Double Braced Hi-Hat Stand | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Yamaha HS850 is a professional-grade double-braced hi-hat stand built around a direct pull design with eleven spring tension settings — giving drummers precise, repeatable control over pedal response and foot feel in a robust, stability-focused platform. Three double-braced legs with a rotating leg design and pedal-side legs that open to 150° provide maximum floor stability and versatile positioning in any drum configuration, while big rubber feet keep the stand firmly planted on any surface. A curved connecting rod, felt cymbal support, and cymbal angle adjustment round out a specification built for the demands of serious gigging and professional performance.
Product Overview
The HS850's direct pull design is the mechanical approach that connects the footboard directly to the pull rod without an intermediate linkage system — producing a straightforward, responsive feel that many drummers prefer for its immediacy and simplicity. The absence of a toggle link keeps the pedal's mechanical action clean and uncomplicated, and direct pull designs are widely valued for their reliable, consistent performance across a long service life with minimal maintenance requirements.
Eleven spring tension settings via the tension collar is a notably generous range of adjustment for a hi-hat stand — most stands in this category offer considerably fewer discrete settings, which limits how precisely a drummer can tune the pedal's response to their specific foot technique and preference. With eleven settings, the HS850 can be dialed in to a much more personalized feel — from very light tension for fast, fluttery playing with minimal foot resistance, through progressively firmer settings for more controlled, deliberate work, all the way to a heavy, high-resistance setting for players who want maximum rebound from the pedal.
The rotating leg design allows the stand's legs to be repositioned for flexible setup in virtually any drum configuration — particularly useful in setups where tom stands, bass drum hardware, and throne position create space constraints that a fixed-leg stand cannot work around. The pedal-side legs opening to 150° create a wide, stable base specifically at the side of the stand where the drummer's foot applies playing force — the direction where stability matters most during active hi-hat playing. Big rubber feet reinforce this stability with secure floor contact that resists migration on smooth stage surfaces and mixed flooring. The curved connecting rod follows the instrument's geometry naturally, and the cymbal angle adjustment allows the top cymbal's angle to be fine-tuned for individual playing preference and closed cymbal tone.

Key Features
Direct Pull Design
A straightforward direct pull mechanism connects the footboard to the pull rod without a toggle link — producing immediate, responsive pedal feel with reliable, low-maintenance mechanical performance.
Eleven Spring Tension Settings
An eleven-position tension collar provides significantly more precise spring tension adjustment than most hi-hat stands offer — enabling highly personalized foot response tuning from very light to heavy resistance.
Three Double-Braced Legs with 150° Pedal-Side Opening
Double-braced construction on all three legs provides maximum stability, with pedal-side legs opening to 150° for a wide, confident base specifically where playing force is applied.
Rotating Leg Design
Legs can be repositioned to accommodate virtually any drum configuration, fitting around existing hardware in complex setups without compromising the stand's footprint or stability.
Big Rubber Feet
Large rubber feet provide secure, non-slip floor contact that resists stand migration on smooth surfaces and mixed flooring during active hi-hat playing.
Cymbal Angle Adjustment
Top cymbal angle can be fine-tuned to individual preference for optimal playing position and closed cymbal tone response.
Curved Connecting Rod
The curved rod follows the natural geometry of the stand for smooth, consistent pull rod action across the full range of footboard travel.
