DrumCraft Series 4 Hi-Hat Stand

First of all, this stand is smaller and thinner than it looks on the picture. If your sitting position is high and if you like to have your hi-hat placed high, then this stand won't do the job. It's really made for lower setups, like jazz. But, for jazz and quieter playing styles its spring tension is a bit much, even at the lowest setting. It doesn't allow for a very dynamic pedal work. This is actually the only gripe I have with this stand. Otherwise it's well built and the hi-hat clutch is very good. Also, note that the legs spread more apart than on most other hi-hat stands, which is a plus in terms of stability, but they can get in the way also. If you're looking for a lightweight, portable but stable hi-hat stand, this is probably the best one at this price.
