How To Mount Hi-Hat Cymbals On A Stand-Setting Up A Drumset

In this video, I show you how to mount hi-hat cymbals on a stand. This is an essential part of setting up a drum set, and I believe that every drummer should know how to do it.
Mounting a crash, splash, or ride cymbal onto a stand is very basic, but mounting a pair of hi-hats is a bit more complex. In this video, I show you how to do it with ease!

As an experienced Bassist and with no knowledge of drum hardware, I recently purchased a used set and honestly had trouble with on how to set up a hi hat. This was a very helpful video.

it's crazy how few step by step guides there are on it, nothing about setting up a hi hat is obvious or straightforward

[@Roeak7]

You speak like a teacher, thanks for your time.

[@user-yt4co8py2g]

Brother you did a way better job at explaining this process than the weird instructions I got in written paper haha. You broke it down into more detail such as saying turning the bottom cymbal upside down and where the felt is supposed to go on top and bottom. It wasn’t specific like that in the written instructions have no idea why haha

[@jeff-nz5zc]

[@marshmellow4143]

Thanks Bro You helped me a lot I MEAN ALOT THANKS take care

[@worldwideoccurrence274]

This is not marshmello

[@northwoodspups830]

Might be a stupid question, but is a "cymbal sleeve" necessary for the top cymbal? I see you have one for the bottom cymbal (the little piece of plastic the runs up the hi hat stand just slightly so there's no "metal on metal"), but nothing for the top cymbal, besides it just being cushioned between two pieces of felt. My hi hat stand is set up exactly the same. Would you recommend a cymbal sleeve for the top cymbal, if they even make them?

[@blitzwolf1012]

Thanks, it worked

[@notimportant-ren2971]

this us a helpful tutorial, but i have a question, is the felt necessary or will the cymbals work without it? as i have a second hand drum kit that my brother put together and i've noticed that there is no felt on the hi-hat and no matter how i much i change the hi-hat it doesn't sound right

[@Za_Vas]

this video was very helpful

[@kswole000]
