Members Martiko Posted January 24, 2003 Members Share Posted January 24, 2003 I'm buying a new hihat- stand next week so I wonder if you have any advice on where to look for especially. I know that 'stability' is high on my priority list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wombar Posted January 24, 2003 Members Share Posted January 24, 2003 If I was you I'd make sure that you can move the footplate itself, unfortunately I've got one which doesn't move. Consequently I've had to put the second pedal of my double bass pedal through one of the legs of my hi hat stand and there's not as much room as I'd like. Obviously make sure that it's easy to adjust and what not but thats about it I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members psycht Posted January 24, 2003 Members Share Posted January 24, 2003 sit down and play on a few at the music store. then adjust EVERYTHING. see what it can and cannot do. also make sure the action of the hats open and close with little effort. single or double bracket shouldn't matter too much, unless you like to play very hard.

Members Chabo Posted January 25, 2003 Members Share Posted January 25, 2003 Here's a tip- buy from a major company. Either Pearl, Tama, DW, Yamaha, Axis, or a few other selected companies. I recommend Tama myself, but that's just personal preference. Whatever company you buy from, get one of the higher-end stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Warhead Posted January 25, 2003 Members Share Posted January 25, 2003 Positionable pedal and quiet action. I've always been interested in one of those Gibraltar liquid action hat stands... Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Warhead Posted January 25, 2003 Members Share Posted January 25, 2003 Anyone ever used the Yamaha cable hat stands? I wonder how the responsiveness is. I've always wanted my hi hat just a liiiiiiiiiitle bit this way or that way, the remote hats would do it. Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
