What hi hat stand do you use?

[zerodragunov]

Im looking into buying a hi hat stand, probably iron cobra but im not sure really yet. Just wondering what you guys use?

DW 9000. Probably the last hi-hat stand I'll ever buy. It has it all.

Iron Cobra Lever Glide high hat stand. too me its pretty much a DW9000 stand for 100 dollars cheaper.

I have the Iron Cobra. It's Soooo smooth.

Do you iron cobra users have the regular chain ones or the one with the kevlar strap. If so do you know the difference between them. Which would you recommend?

Ludwig L316 double braced. Nothing special,it does the job though it feels stiff.

the kevlar strap one is better. The Lever glide (the one i use, and the higher end one) uses the strap. the Velo glide uses the chain. the Velo is still a very nice high hat. but the level gldie i find is smoother and quicker

I went cheap and got just a simple Gibraltar
it works great
I really see no need for a really expensive one
they all pretty much feel the same to me

Strap. No chain. If you get a chance , check one out.

I use a 40 year old flat leg stand, i have no idea of the brand but it barely works...

And thats the way I like it!

A single braced Yamaha stand. What would currently be a Yamaha 740. Steve Gadd used the same basic model, and I never heard him complain about his hi-hat stand, so I thought I'd give it a try myself. My DW 5000 was nice enough, but a little too heavy. The Yamaha does the job perfect. Bought mine "used" off eBay.

I used a second-hand yamaha 700 series mainly as its single braced so lightweight and it smooth enough for me, too smooth and it just dont feel right for me.

Bingo - the same as me. Yamaha hardware is so nice, you cant beat their stands at all. Their only downside is the clamps are a bit weak so i use pearl for those.

An old vintage three legs Slingerland hi hat stand

 

[Drumsword]

I use an old ludwig legless stand for my double bass kit and for the other sets I have a simple taye with swivel legs for manuevering around my double pedal.

 

[Sirwill]

For me Pearl hardware always seems to be the best and last the longest.

 

[remoking]

DW 5500TD Delta stand. Just bought it, it's great.

 

[JohnnyG]

Tama Road Pro....Bought it when I sold my Taye set with all of the hardware.

Tama Iron Cobra Velo Glide. VERY smooth and durable,

Ludwig 400 series double brace
