I want to add a cymbal stand to my kit How much are they?

Figure on spending anywhere from $40 to $65 for a beginner lightweight stand and between $45 to $75 for a good lightweight boom stand.

The Beginner Drummers Handbook . . . . 74 What’s the difference between a boom stand and a straight stand?

A boom stand has a ‘boom’ extension on it to allow for more flexibility and more reach for positioning a cymbal. A straight stand is basically what it sounds like – straight up, no boom and is more for close positioning.

The Beginner Drummers Handbook . . . . 75 Is it OK to use a cymbal stand without the plastic sleeve on it?

(Bonus Question)

NO! Your cymbals should never make direct contact with the stand. The constant force and friction created when you hit the cymbal will cause the hole to bend, crack or develop what’s called a keyhole. Keyhole’ing happens when the bare metal thread post wears right up against the hole as the cymbal moves up and down after you hit it. Not good! It can void the warranty on your cymbal as well. Always make sure there’s a plastic sleeve on the stand. If yours wears out, replace it. You can get just the sleeve itself or a sleeve with the cymbal seat attached. Both are available in packs of four for around $10 per pack.

The Beginner Drummers Handbook . . . . 76 I want a new hi hat stand

How much are they?

You can figure on spending between $70 and $85 for a good affordable hi hat stand upgrade from your starter hi hat stand.

The Beginner Drummers Handbook . . . . 77 I just picked up a double bass pedal and now I can’t set up my hi hat stand right What can I do?

Unfortunately there’s not much you can do with your current stand. Here’s why. On most inexpensive hi hat stands, especially the ones included with the starter kits, the legs are fixed and don’t move. Your only real option is to upgrade to a better stand. On most good quality aftermarket hi hat stands, the legs rotate 360 degrees. This allows double bass users to simply move the leg out of the way of the left bass pedal. There are also some very good two leg design hi hat stands available from companies like Pearl, Yamaha and Tama which eliminates the need to move anything. The two legs are completely out of the way of the left pedal. Two leg hi hat stands start around the $145 range and go up from there.

The Beginner Drummers Handbook . . . . 78 I just picked up a splash cymbal What kind of stand should I get for it?

You don’t need a whole stand for your splash cymbal. You can just get what’s called a ‘grabber arm’. It’s a boom arm with a clamp attached to it. You can just clamp the arm off of one of your existing stands and put your splash on that. Grabber arms are generally good for any cymbal up to 12”.

The Beginner Drummers Handbook . . . . 79 My hi hat stand is broken When I step on the pedal, it goes right to the floor and the hi hats don’t move!

Don’t fret just yet. Your stand might not be broken. The hi hat pull rod simply may have come detached. Try removing the hats from the stand, loosen the the wing nut in the middle of the stand and remove the top post. The hi hat pull rod threads in to the bottom half of the stand and it connects at the middle of the stand. Sometimes just from repeated up/down motion of the pedal, the rod starts to gradually loosen until it just comes out. Just thread it back in and you’re back in business.

The Beginner Drummers Handbook . . . . 80 My bottom hi hat cymbal doesn’t sit straight It’s kind of sitting on a slant How do I fix it?

Actually, you don’t. You might have noticed that on the underside of the plastic hi hat seat, there’s a little screw. This is actually an adjustment screw for the bottom hi hat cymbal to adjust the level of ‘tilt’. The bottom cymbal is actually supposed to sit on a slight angle to improve contact with the top cymbal when you play the hats with the left foot. With the top and bottom cymbals both sitting completely level, you wont get much of a sound when they connect.

The Beginner Drummers Handbook . . . . 81 What’s a ‘drum rack’?

How much are they?

A drum rack is a bar based system designed to cut down on set up time and save floor space under a drum kit by eliminating the need for multiple cymbal stands. Whatever you currently have on your kit that’s mounted on your bass drum or sitting on a stand, can all be mounted on a rack system. Popular companies offering rack systems are Yamaha, Pearl, Pacific Drums (PDP), and Gibraltar, which is probably the company offering the most flexible and expandable rack systems for drums. Simple front bar rack systems start around $150 to $450, depending on the manufacturer.
