Years ago I bought a second hand (very cheap) Hi-Hat stand with pedal / and cymbals. 'Messed' around with it for a short while--put it away and recently I got serious about it again. I want to upgrade to better quality gear. Have done a bit of research on the subject--'not-knowing-then-what -I -know -now' syndrome and I find there is a minefield of gear out there on the subject.
My questions to all you knowledgeable guys out the there are:
a) Are Bass Drum pedals different to Hi-Hat pedal's?
b) I notice that a lot of Hi-Hat stands are not sold with pedals--is that common?
c) If I bought a Hi-Hat stand without a pedal how do I know the pedal will fit the stand?---are the pedal and stand a universal fit?
d) When I say I want to upgrade I mean a decent make --'middle of the road' price'--say up to £150 for the two--would that be a reasonable new price to pay?
e) Can you suggest any makes that are pretty good & solid?
Look forward to your expertise.
