LOL DIG THAT ANCIENT DW5K DOUBLE PEDAL WITH THE CROOKED BEATER!! I had one just like it back in the early 90's except I installed a second crooked beater for symmetry. I traded that contraption in for 2 first-gen Iron Cobras once I got my second bass drum. That whole kit is long gone but I still have the pedals. Thx for the info on t he Griffin remote hi-hat stand, I've been looking at getting one. Take care!
The ancient double bass pedal was a graduation present from my parents; and you nailed the time frame. I’m old. I still like the pedal. It’s the only thing remaining from my original kit. Glad you enjoyed the video.
You’ll probably need an adjustable clamp and something to clamp it on to. I use a cymbal stand to clamp it on to. I’ve considered using 2 clamps for more stability but 1 seems to be doing the job just fine.
Where did you get the clamp to mount it to the cymbal stand? It seems like Griffin might be the only brand I can see that doesn’t sell a clamp with it.
Hello! Wanted to know if there is any sort of height adjustment , specially for the tension rod. Something like the Tama Iron cobra 900 remote hihat. Thanks!
You need to buy a clamp to clamp it on to another stand to control overall height. Then there is a standard clutch to control the height of the top hat on the rod. Then there is tension amount which I have to the extreme so I I have to push down fairly hard to close it all the way. I had the tension too loose for a while and it felt “mushy”. I swapped out the clutch for a quick release clutch to make double bass transitions easier. Overall I liked this pedal enough to buy 2 of them.
Yeah, I’ve never had it move. It’s on a rug which probably helps. I’ve used Velcro on the bottom of bass drum pedals before but I didn’t do anything special for these.
Yes it is. I liked the first one so much that I bought a second one. I don’t transport them though so I can’t say much about that, other then they seem to be built well.
@@hopkinks1 Thanks, I'm going to grab one, I might get a longer cable from the bike shop though so I'm not restricted of my placement options, how long is it again 4'?
@@Mike-ol7xp, I think it’s closer to 6 feet. The connector is somewhat hidden. I think I would wait until you get it and then take it to a bike place to get the longer cable.

Thanks for the review. Just ordered it. 😊
Glad to help
Will this stand fit into a standard Roland rack clamp or do I need to buy an adjustable rack clamp?

Is the pedal weighted enough so that it doesn’t move around on you? Thanks.
Yeah, I’ve never had it move. It’s on a rug which probably helps. I’ve used Velcro on the bottom of bass drum pedals before but I didn’t do anything special for these.
How has it held up over time?
No issues but I don’t move it
Is this Griffin remote hi hat still holding up??
Yes it is. I liked the first one so much that I bought a second one. I don’t transport them though so I can’t say much about that, other then they seem to be built well.
