I have a problem with the real estate (floor space) around my feet and various cymbal stands etc. The hi-hat, 2nd bass pedal, cymbal stand, and rack foot all seem to overlap. This is constant source of frustration for me because it seems that every time I sit behind the kit I have to move something to make it fit.
I was wondering what the best option was to give me the most flexibility to arrange these pieces based on where they are comfortable vs. just getting them to fit (somewhere). I think I am ok with the feet of the snare stand and the 2nd bass pedal. Which do you think would give me better flexibility, a remote hi-hat or a legless hi-hat? What brands/models work the best?
I have a Gibraltar rack and could add an arm that would replace a cymbal stand that holds a heavy ride and a splash. Of course, I'm always changing things so assume any cymbal combo could end up there. Do these work well and will they allow a lot of flexibility in cymbal placement? Again what brands or models work well? I like my cymbals to be anchored well. I have booms throughout my kit but I don't like long boom travel because the lack of stability.
I don't hit hard or anything so assume a normal playing style.
I appreciate the depth of knowledge on this forum and any help you can provide.
