I have a cheap Sonor hi hat stand that I bought recently. Probably the cheapest one they make. It works great! I use it for my gigging set because it is nice and light compared to others. Then again, I just bought a DW5000 for $20 from a consignment store and it replaced a cheapo GP stand that I really did not like at all because it made my foot cramp. My regular stand is an Iron Cobra two leg. It costs a lot more than the others, but it ain't much better than the Sonor. It is more adjustable, but that's about it. The action isn't any better, in fact, the Sonor actually feels better. So go figure....but that's just my opinion FWIW.
