HI-HAT ASSEMBLY

ITEMS REQUIRED:

1x Hi-Hat Stand (three parts)

1x Hi-Hat Cymbals (Pair, 14” – top and bottom)

1x Drum Key

1.

   Take the tripod base of the hi-hat stand and 

spread the legs out by unscrewing the wingnut. 
The pedal attachment is connected to two rods. 
Place the two rods into the base of the tripod 
stand to secure it into place.

2.

   The second part of the hi-hat stand comprises 

of three parts: a black metal pole, a silver thin 
rod and the hi-hat clutch located at the top. First, 
using the drum key, undo the bolt fi xing the hi-
hat clutch and place to one side. This will allow 
the silver rod to be completely removed as well.

3.

   Taking the silver metal rod, screw the threaded 

end into the top of the tripod base and then 
place the black metal pole over the rod. Secure 
into the base, adjusting to the height you want 
the cymbals to be at.

4.

   Take one of the hi-hat cymbals and place it 

upside down on top of the hi-hat stand.

5.

   Take the hi-hat clutch and unscrew the nut at 

the bottom. Separate into two parts so that 
there is one black felt on each end. Thread the 
screw part through the top of the cymbal and 
then reattach the felt and nut to the underside 
of the cymbal.

6.

   Insert the cymbal and clutch onto the silver 

metal rod and let both cymbals rest on top of 
each other without tightening the clutch wing 
nut to the silver metal rod.

7.

   Slightly pressing the hi-hat pedal, tighten the 

wing nut. When you release the pedal, the top 
cymbal should raise away from the bottom 
cymbal, so that they do no touch each other. 

8.

   Final adjustments to the angle of the bottom 

cymbal can be made using the turn bolt 
underneath the bottom hi-hat cymbal, 
should it be required.
