Ultimate Guide to Hi-Hat Setup | Season Two, Episode 27

Hi-hat stands don’t see anywhere near the amount of attention they deserve. From technique to setup to adjustments, the kick pedal gets a lot more focus than the hi-hat stand. This explains why so many drummers are unaware of the issuers with their hi-hat settings or know that something isn’t quite right but are at a loss for how to fix it. In this episode, we cover it all.
