Yamaha Crosstown Lightweight Drum Hardware Pack JHW3

Yamaha constantly excels in bringing products to the market that players really need. Their most recent offering is the Yamaha Crosstown Lightweight hardware pack. Transporting a kit between gigs really takes its toll, and there is nothing in the world heavier than a hardware bag after a gig. Yamaha have created an excellent pack of lightweight hardware that doesn’t compromise on reliability; the HW3 Crosstown pack.

Lightweight hardware isn’t anything new. But the problem is, a lot of what is on the market isn’t reliable, and certainly not in a gig setting. And at the other end of the spectrum is reliable hardware that breaks your back lifting it. Built for the needs of a modern drummer, the Crosstown HW3 hardware pack is a huge relief. Weighing in at 25 – 34% less than standard hardware packs, this is certainly light to carry, at only 7.8kg with the bag included. However, this isn’t a simplified hardware pack. This pack includes a hi-hat stand, a snare stand and two cymbals stands.

As mentioned though, hardware can’t simply be light, it needs to be sturdy and reliable. The Yamaha Crosstown hardware pack is exactly that. Built from Aluminium, these stands are very sturdy. With channel-track bracing, even the heaviest of hitters can rely on these stands. Using the pairing of clever design, and the weight of the cymbals and snare when on the stands, they always remained perfectly grounded. With non-slip rubber feet, you won’t have to be chasing your kit either.

With a slim design, these stands are also easier than many hardware packs to get into the precise position you’re looking for, particularly when it comes to allowing space for mic’ing up the kit too, both on stage and in the studio.

This hardware pack comes with a bag which allows extra space for additional hardware, such as drum pedals, and a sleeve for each of the stands so to always keep them in the best condition. So if you’re a frequently gigging drummer looking to make your life a lot easier, the Yamaha HW3 Crosstown hardware pack is certainly the one for you.
