Assembling the hi-hat
Pull the stand's three legs far enough apart until there is optimum stability between
the base point of the stand and the legs. A wing nut ensures that the legs do not
move out of position. The pedal is still dangling loosely on the chain; this means that
the hi-hat's pedal is stabilised with a rod just like the bass drum pedal. To do this,
reach under the pedal, press the rod fork together a bit until the ends lock home in
the holes.
The next thing to do is to tightly screw home the pull rod in the stand's thread. Put
the centre tube over the pull rod and screw it tight.
We will adjust the height exactly later on once we have positioned the hi-hat stand in
the correct location and attached the cymbals.
