Gibraltar Medium Weight Hi-Hat Stand with Key Tension Adjustment  

I have had the opportunity to use this stand only a handful of times so far, since I just recently received it. However, my initial response has been only very positive. I'm impressed with the thoughtfulness that went into its design and construction. It seems quite stable and sturdy during use - I don't even have to strap it down, which I had to do with my prior hi-hat stand. It stays put without any additional assistance from me. It actually makes me feel more grounded when I'm playing. The action feels effortless.

I have been using this hi-hat stand as is, right out of the box, with fine results. For this reason,

I can't comment on its key tension adjustment feature, since I haven't had to readjust anything so far. I did not give this product a rating of 10 simply because of the short time I have had it, and

also because I have not had the occasion to evaluate the key tension adjustment feature. That being said, I feel strongly that this is an excellent product, and I am quite pleased that I chose it.

So far, I am quite pleased with this product, especially when consideration is given to the price I paid for it.

Overall, an excellent product. Well designed and constructed. Effortless stable performance.

I feel that it has improved my playing.

Gibraltar has done a great job with their Medium Weight Hi-Hat Stand. The key tension feature is a real plus, making adjustments almost effortless. The action is smooth, and has a positive, not "washy" feel, that's easy to play. The fit & finish is excellent; hard to believe they put this much quality into a low-end stand. Don't let the bargain price fool you- this is a top-notch stand, worth more than the price would suggest. I highly recommend it to all but the very hardest-hitting metal drummers.

The chrome plating, and the welds are very well done. I have found NO alignment problems, and no burrs. Parts move freely and the locks work the way they should.

As good as stands costing twice as much.

Better than you could ever believe, for the price.

its just like any other hi hat stand for this much $

i have used this many times with aa cymbals and it holds up perfactly if you are willing to pay the money you cant go wrong

its just a stand you cant expect to get a good price  for good music equepment

its perfect the onely thing that i noticed is that the screwy piece in the middle of the two cymbals comes of once every few months but thats not a problem it happens to all high hats but thats not the resone im giving it a 9 the resome is because of the price

I got the stand but was confused that there was no drum key to help adjust it. With a found drum key I later got it together and ajusted and all the drummers that play on this kit love the new hi-hat and vary pleased with its functions.

every threding and nut and bolt says quality finnish and parts all top notch heaver than the cheepo it replaced.

The extra money makes a difference and would buy it over again if it came up missing.

this company knows what the customer wants and sure can deliver on overall performance.
