Members e-b-e Posted August 18, 2005 Members Share Posted August 18, 2005 Can you get the secondary pedal of the double kick to fit alongside the hihat pedal, or do the legs of the hihat stand interfere?? Assuming we're talking a right handed setup, it would be to the right of the hihat pedal. Some hihat stands are easier to work with than others in this situation.

Members Dark Slide Posted August 18, 2005 Members Share Posted August 18, 2005 Sounds like you have the right idea. Try to keep the angle between the slave and the main pedal as straight as possible. Run the bar behind the snare stand as you said you are doing. Generally the hats should sit right next to the slave pedal. When I used a double pedal I rotated the legs of the hihat stand so that it fit snug up next to my slave pedal. Some people find it easier to run the leg of the hat stand that is closest to the slave pedal OVER the slave pedal rather than behind it. I don't really have the stuff to take a picture right now, or I would... my kit is at the jam room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rockbeat Posted August 18, 2005 Members Share Posted August 18, 2005 I use a hi-hat stand with a swiveling base as well. There are also 2 leg hi-hat stands. For me it's a "must". With a regular 3 leg stand that doesn't swivel I could never get the h.h. pedal right next to my slave pedal the way I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the_chief Posted August 18, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2005 yeah, it's a right handed set up. You're right the leg of the HH is in the way. I'm trying to put the slave and HH pedal next to each other but the HH leg just barely clears the slave pedal. It's a Pacific kit, stock HH, don't know if it swivels or not, but that would be the key. let me go check... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the_chief Posted August 18, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2005 it doesn't swivel now I need a good HiHat that swivels but won't break the bank- post suggestions- thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rca Posted August 18, 2005 Members Share Posted August 18, 2005 Just about all Hi Hat stands except the budget stands will swivel. All the major drum brands offer their own lines of stands and then there is Gilbralter. For double braced, I use the Pearl 800 series stands because they have always been a little cheaper than the competition. If you are buying over the web and are not sure about a particular model, just look for a product description at the manufacturer's web site. I have bought a lot of no-name hardware in person, but I would stick to name brands if buying over the internet or mail order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
