Featuring the revolutionary, folding and removable "Pillar Clutch" basket for optimum performance, the Ludwig Atlas Pro II Snare Stand is a supple and solid foundation for backbeats of all genres. With low-contact basket grips and an aerodyne tilter, the snare basket also offers firm strength for any drum (snare or rack tom) at almost any angle. The vice-grip tube joint with memory lock also provides a strong grip with minimal wear on the support tubing, while memory locks (on the mast and tripod) ensure a quick and easy setup.
