i just make my own 'pulley based 'remote hi hat .. imho it is much better than the enclosed cable system, that created friction and drag especially when bent. Using a wire pulley system as mine has no drag whatsoever as the only contact points on the cable are on the small portion of the two pulleys alone
9707ML - DP looks like a Beast - perfect for drummers on tour playing an aggressive Set ! I absolutely love your guys' vids and hardware. #bestinthebiz
When I used an acoustic kit, u could only choose 3 legged hat stands. Now they got 2 legged ones. Amazing. In the 80s, I discovered cable hats. Wow. These were brill, u could put them anywhere. I had the pedal section on my left an a piccalo snare left of that. The cable hi hat was mounted above my 2 small toms. Worked for me.
hey Brent, great video! it helped me a lot. But, Because of Hihat stands: Have you and your team members plans to do a remote Hihat? Because, i´ll need one soon, and I don´t really won't to change the brand, because I like your stands, and all the rest is Gibraltar, too.
GibraltarDIY The 6700 Series stands are perfect for my needs, I'm looking forward to adding the Gibraltar 6700 Series Hardware to my new Gretsch Catalina Club 8-Piece kit at the end of this month. Are the Swing Nut Boom stands much more expensive than the Standard Wing Nut Boom stands?
I recently bought the 9707 ML-LD. Your video shows how to "adjust resistance of pedal by moving the step tension assembly". Well, please tell me how to do that. I can't get mine to budge.
I know I’m a tad late, but was wondering if you’ll ever make a hi-hat that has removable legs like Mapex. Sense I love Gibraltar hardware (it’s all I use), don’t want to buy the Mapex. Just waiting and hoping Gibraltar will make one soon!
I've been playing drums for many years, ever since I was kid (If it weren't for a game such as rockband, I probably would have just stuck to guitar). So even after all of these years, I've only had one drum kit and all of the same hardware that came with it (+ an extra cymbal stand I purchased). Long story short, I'm still quite drum-hardware-illiterate. This video was great except it would have been much better if it would have explained why it's important to have different tensions, and what the difference is between the different clutches and etc... You know, for morons like me!
Just curious about the no leg hi hat stand, but can it grip onto like a rug kind of flooring? and if so would it be enough to stabilize it from falling? if not what would you recommend on purchasing so the hi hat stand does not fall during practice.
No leg stands are generally clamped to another piece of hardware like a rack or another stand. 3 legged is the most stable but 2 works best with a double bass pedal setup.
ildur bud come to think of it I commented that a year ago and my opinion has changed. I used them before and the were garbage. After a year of use it was falling apart. These newer ones are much better
