This is a great Hi Hat Stand. To be honest, it has probably been 25 years since I have used a Hi Hat Stand. All of my E-Drums have had one-piece Hi Hats with pedals, but no real HH Stand. When I upgraded to a more real HH type of E-Cymbal, I needed a stand. (And, I hated dealing with traveling pedals.) I had a stand in mind, and when I talked to Erik, he had another suggestion for me. Thanks Erik, your suggestion was perfect. The stand is everything that I would need in a HH Stand (Semi-lightweight, but Sturdy - Adjustable - Reliable, - and just Fun to play.
