The heavy weight of the stand pressing on your shoulder as you carry your gear. The frustration when adjustments don't go the way you want. The subtle fatigue that sets in before you've even played a single note. These are minor discomforts that almost every drummer experiences, but often go unspoken and unrecognized. Yet over time, they quietly take away a drummer's focus and ability to expressive themselves. Ultimately hindering the quality of their performance.
TAMA created the Spartan series with the goal of eliminating these silent obstacles, so drummers can fully unlock their creative potential.
In developing Spartan stands, our pursuit extended far beyond simply reducing the weight.
Equipped with innovative features such as the Anti-Walk Rubber Feet to prevent movement during a performance, and the Duo-Lock Boom Tilter that allows for simultaneous adjustment of the boom angle and length, Spartan stands are designed to offer not only lightness, but also a fast, intuitive setup with rock-solid stability.
To enhance playability, we combined TAMA's specific mechanical innovations into a design that achieves an ideal weight and light enough to reduce physical strain, yet strong enough to meet professional demands.
The result is a perfect balance of form and function: a stand that feels just right for every drummer.
Spartan's true potential cannot be fully captured in a basic list of specs it must be experienced. For those who simply touch a Spartan will immediately know its undeniable originality. The Spartan stands respond to drummer's needs and is reliable in demanding environments, so drummers can focus on the music.
What do drummers truly seek in a stand?
By listening to the unspoken voice in the hearts of drummers everywhere, Spartan is the answer and a new standard in the future of drumming by TAMA.
To prevent cymbal stand “walking” while playing, TAMA has developed an all-new rubber tip. Even when the stand lifts slightly off the floor while playing, a piece at the center of the rubber foot remains in contact with the floor, effectively minimizing unwanted movement during performance. This innovative feature delivers a level of stability that's almost unbelievable believe given the stand’s lightweight design yet another practical and original solution from TAMA.
In pursuit of the ultimate lightweight design, this new series from TAMA was developed entirely from the ground up, with all parts and mechanisms reimagined from scratch. Using lightweight aluminum extensively throughout, each component has been carefully designed to minimize size.
At the same time, achieving a high level of stability alongside a reduced weight is the core concept behind the Spartan stand. To ensure this, critical adjustment points that tend to experience wear and tear such as the boom tilter, bolts, and T-nut threads are made from high-strength, durable materials like zinc die-cast and steel.
TAMA's patented toothless Quick-Set Tilter marks another TAMA advancement in hardware. Relying on basic principles of physics, the Quick-Set Tilter holds its position using the friction of six smooth metal disc plates instead of traditional toothed gears, so you can adjust it to any desired angle. This mechanism also has a more durable structure than a conventional gear tilter.
