Thank you so much for this video. I was afraid to break it because it comes with some black protectors at the tip of each end of the cable. Thanks to you, I was able to install my remote hi hat stand in no time. I love your videos
Having played the Tama Iron Cobra Remote, the Pearl RH2000, and this DW, the DW is my favorite. I currently have the second one I've owned in my life. I love the fact that the cable is easily removable for transport, and the whole assembly is light. The ability to buy models with different cable lengths, or buy different replacement cable lengths is great. The feel is closest to a traditional hi-hat (I'd say it's maybe 97% like a regular hi-hat feel wise..extremely close). The Pearl was good feel wise, but not quite as immediate as the DW. It also is harder to transport because you can't disconnect the cable, and you're stuck with the 8 foot cable, which is overkill if you use a remote hi-hat to say center your hi-hat cymbals over the snare like Bill Bruford does. The Tama was, and I say this with a breaking heart as I LOVE Tama's hardware and use Tama from my bass drum pedals to cymbal, snare stands, and clamps/accessories, the worst. It was extremely heavy and sluggish at every tension setting (I have to say that I love too that the DW lets you adjust the tension gradually, where as the Tama is 6 pre-determined settings). There was also a lot of friction. It was almost unplayable. I don't know if I got a bad one, but I returned it immediately. But I think even if the Tama had the same feel as the DW, as I said the DW wins for portability. It's also lighter than the Tama wise as well.
Yes! Super helpful and yes, I became enamoured with Bill Bruford's set up too when I saw a video of him utilizing his remote hi-hat in such a way to rid himself of the cross hand technique. I'm not a fan either and don't like to raise my hats so high to solve that problem because it then negates me from accessing the top cymbal. I've tested a remote version or two back in the day and must say they felt kind of 'mushy' to my foot but that was a long time ago and I'm now interested again in this concept because of advances in technology. I think I could easily live with a 97 percent rating as I'm really not too picky when it comes to hi-hat feel.
I found an open box in mint condition for $400! I position mine in the same spot as you did with my ride cymbal level with it. Opens up many rythm options.
Good video. I saw a drummer on utube playing open handed. I do habe a mounted remote, but doesn't open and shut. I might spend 300 and experiment. Good idea. It is the 21st century now.😎
Pretty cool, I want to add another hi hat but Im thinking more of the remoteless, I like keeping the time on my left foot so I want to still have a closed hihat crisp sound with my right hand
Really enjoyed the depth of info. in this video. Very helpful. I plan to use this on my kit. But I won't be using stands. I'm slowly building a three sided DW rack system. I've heard the mounting hardware with this remote hi-hat doesn't work well with the 1.5" tubing that comes with the rack system. Does anyone know if this is true or will it work as is?
@@coffeecupblue I did. I contacted DW directly and asked them. They said it'd work. I've since bought a clamp and this remote hi-hat and mounted it to my rack system. Once I got it tightened down, it works great. Too bad you can't add pictures on UA-cam, because it looks great. So I can say for sure it works!
+Harry Harris its actually just not made to do that. its a regular drop clutch but what he was trying to say is that you dont need to reach over every time you need to have you high hats closed or open
Yikes! that was a fail clutch keeps spinning around for the amount of money I’m sure they’re charging I’m surprised there’s nothing that keeps it stationary
How is the Remote Hi-Hat Stand compared to a regular Hi-Hat Stand? I’d like to use it on a kit with 2 bass drums but I don’t want to sacrifice performance at all, especially speed-wise. Thanks in advance!
Hey, Richard. This is going to be the same exact feel and action as a standard 9000 series hi-hat stand… so it’s going to be extremely solid. If you need some more flexibility in your setup, this is certainly the way to go! I hope this helps! Nick Pasquino, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 3230, nick_pasquino@sweetwater.com
Hi Simon Vidlund. A ton of factors play into the price, but we won't get into that here :) As far as cable length (and any other specific questions you may have), we recommend you give us a call at 800-222-4700. We'll be able to answer all your questions and make sure this pedal is perfect for your setup. Thanks!
I'm looking to purchase a new hi-hat stand in the near future but I would like an overview of features of various brands. I'm personally interested in one that is tall and great for recording to avoid bleeding into the snare microphone, but also durable and well suited for traveling and gigging. My local music store doesn't have many brands outside of Gibraltar and Pearl I'm hoping to get an idea of what brand and type fits my needs so I can make a purchase online.
Nick playing poorly surprised me. Not that I expected him to be a double pedal god or something, but it just threw me off hearing such a fantastic drummer struggle ;)
Man, need to drop remo powerstroke4s coated tom heads and an controlled sound snair. Cause your side snare head is on point, but drop the retarted Zyldian cymbals and just get some Sabian aax's, HH, HHX paragon. And the things will bark ad soon you tap them. Yea we see they added a clutch that screws down to tighten and pedal at absolute 0 to catch the clutch mechanism. And adjustable on tightening the wash and cut. But man Zyldian smmfh🤦♂️
A manufacturer has to produce a real Hi-Hat stand that can be played remotely with a pedal, instead of these wobbly jerky little clamp-on things. So drummers can play a real solid Hi-Hat remotely. Have a cable from the pedal that runs to the bottom of a remotely located real Hi-Hat stand. No wobbly clamp-on toys. All solid because it is a real Hi-Hat stand used to really play your Hi-Hats.
Music Serpent drum keys can easily be lost. I'd prefer for the adjustments to be made with a standard threaded wing screw. It'd already be built into the stand, and I wouldn't need to dig through my stick-bag, cases, hardware box, etc for a drum key. To each his own

4:40 would be more useful if the clutch would stay in place instead of rotate.

I gotta ask how come you say you have the second one you've owned in your life, did you experience any faults happening with your 1st one?
Such a beautiful finish on that kit
I own it, it looks better in person!!
DW Peacock Oyster, currently pride and place in my practice room. I intend to play it for life and then bequeath it in my last will to my son.

This is amazing , I love this , at least for me , it looks more comfortable to play a hi hat like that
Wow! What a great instructor.
😎🙌
He makes every setup look great and usable... if I had that i would still sound awful.
Pretty cool, I want to add another hi hat but Im thinking more of the remoteless, I like keeping the time on my left foot so I want to still have a closed hihat crisp sound with my right hand
Nice content. I love the quality of it and it looks user friendly. I will get one 😎
that is a beautiful set wow
Yeah that finish doesn't look that good in photos but it sure does here.
@@TempoDrift1480 I own a 6 piece in this finish, it is very photogenic!
I really like the drop clutch. I have a Gibraltar that doesn't reattach so smoothly.
Daaaaamn.....I'm buying it
2:42 i lol'd

@@drummingninja1065 Hey thanks a lot! Much appreciated!
What boom arm attachment are you using to attach the remote Hihat to the stand?
What splashing on this like? I like to splash on the up beats at fast tempos, will this respond fast enough?
Not good if the Drop Lock turns away from you while playing... Maybe he didnt have it setup right?
+Harry Harris its actually just not made to do that. its a regular drop clutch but what he was trying to say is that you dont need to reach over every time you need to have you high hats closed or open
yep I noticed that as well, I use pearl drop clutch,no problems ,on my Yamaha hh stand with my gretsch kit and mapex snare lol need more info .ha
The clutch doesn't move, it's the rod that isn't tight. I critically thought that one out.
He simply didn't have the hi-hat rod tight and it rotated. Your normal hi-hat stand will do the same thing if the rod becomes loose.
At 4:44 and 5:10 the clutch has revolved around to a point where it would be impossible to hit it with a stick. Why is it spinning around??
The stick on which it is mounted rotates. I think the cable is free to twist somewhat in the housing.
@@NXTMusicianBassist No, the rod is likely just loose. I have this one and once the rod is threaded down all the way it doesn't move/spin.
how do you record drums with this kind of video? are you just using one mic here?
Yikes! that was a fail clutch keeps spinning around for the amount of money I’m sure they’re charging I’m surprised there’s nothing that keeps it stationary

@@sweetwater Thank you
which dogbone are you using to mount the hi hat to the cymbal stand. I have an SM 798 but is doesn't work.
Hi there!Are there any Sweetwater video reviews of the Trick Predator remote hihat?
Would you guys prefer the Pearl rh 2000 or this one? I would like to play it very tight and open.
We're big fans of the DW 9502LB, Simon Vidlund!
Cool! Such big price difference but why? Also, can you buy this dw stand with different options of cable length?

You talking about at 4:57? Yeah that surprised me too.
Yup, that clutch is spinning so you won’t be able to activate it at some point
How much is this gonna cost to buy?
I may get one …

does that clutch work with ordinary hi hat stands?
Yeah, the only difference to a normal clutch is that the bit holding the cymbal separates from the bit holding the stand
What is cost?
Hey nick, wanna come tune my drums for me?
What is remote hi hat stand?
You probably found an answer already but it's just a hihat stand that uses a cable instead of a traditional stand
Chris Slade use this .
Thunderstruck i knew it!
caguei
And Chris Dave. Lol

$400.00 !!!!!
How would I go about attaching this to a Gibraltar road pro rack? What is needed?
la rentadaa
You covered about 20% of the hardware...
Right, because the video is only about the one piece of hardware.
"Really simple" but you can't make those adjustments without a drum key
Austin Choate a drum key is something that every drummer should have. That is unless you enjoy having your drums out of tune.
Music Serpent drum keys can easily be lost. I'd prefer for the adjustments to be made with a standard threaded wing screw. It'd already be built into the stand, and I wouldn't need to dig through my stick-bag, cases, hardware box, etc for a drum key. To each his own
buy a drum key & zip tie it to the housing; not likely to be lost.
DW pedals have clips for holding drum keys
