Yamaha CS6T – Straight Cymbal Stand with Single-Braced Legs

The Yamaha CS6T is a lightweight, sturdy straight cymbal stand with single-braced legs, designed for drummers who need dependable hardware without unnecessary weight. With adjustable height from 67 to 145 cm and a weight of just 2.7 kg, it is a practical choice for rehearsals, live performances and studio recording.

The stand features Yamaha's Step-Free Tilter for stepless cymbal angle adjustment and a three-section telescopic construction for flexible positioning. Ergonomically designed wing bolts make adjustments straightforward, while the single-braced legs combine reliable stability with portability and compact storage.

Overview and Features

Single-Braced Legs for Lightweight Stability

The Yamaha CS6T features single-braced legs that keep the overall weight down while providing stable cymbal support. The construction takes up less space than many double-braced alternatives, making the stand easier to position around the drum kit and more convenient to transport.

Weighing just 2.7 kg, the CS6T is particularly suitable for drummers who regularly transport their equipment between rehearsal rooms, stages and studios. Its three-section telescopic construction features tube diameters of 22.2 mm, 19.1 mm and 15.9 mm.

Step-Free Tilter – Precise, Stepless Angle Adjustment

Yamaha's Step-Free Tilter allows the cymbal angle to be adjusted smoothly without fixed increments. This provides greater freedom to find a comfortable playing position and adapt the cymbal's angle to your playing style and the rest of the drum kit.

The stepless mechanism is particularly useful when positioning cymbals close to toms or other stands. The angle can be fine-tuned for comfortable access and a natural playing feel.

Straight Cymbal Stand with Flexible Height Adjustment

The CS6T features a traditional straight construction without a boom arm. This makes it easy to position and particularly useful for drummers who do not need the additional reach of a boom cymbal stand.

Its adjustable height range of 67 to 145 cm provides plenty of flexibility for different drum setups. The three-section construction also allows the stand to be packed down into a compact size for transport and storage.

Ergonomic Wing Bolts for Easy Adjustment

Yamaha has refined the shape of the stand's wing bolts and adjustment screws to provide a more comfortable grip. Their ergonomic design makes it easier to tighten and loosen the controls when adjusting the height or cymbal angle.

This is particularly useful for drummers who frequently set up and pack away their equipment or need to make quick adjustments between songs and performances.

Yamaha CS6T vs CS6 and CS6W

The Yamaha CS6T is a straight cymbal stand, while the CS6 and CS6W feature 32 cm retractable boom arms. All three models feature a Step-Free Tilter but differ in construction and weight.

The CS6T weighs 2.7 kg and features single-braced legs. The CS6 also has single-braced legs but weighs 3.4 kg, while the CS6W has double-braced legs and weighs 3.7 kg. The CS6T is therefore a practical alternative for drummers who prioritise low weight and prefer a straight cymbal stand.
