I'm a new self-taught drummer but long time musician. I don't know any of the additional hardware outside of my $200 craigslist trash set but this is totally a nifty little piece of equipment. I'm glad you showcased. Going to pick up one of those high hat bass drum clamps.
lol bro I am in the exact same position as you, I even also paid $200 for the set lol
@@siliconrockstar187 what color is it ......... 🤣
I'm a relatively new drummer who was having issues with my hi-hat leg getting in the way. Thanks for this video, it really helped me with adjusting.
Thanks, great tip(s). High-hat opening wider away from you never thought about it but good idea, lots of good stuff. Thank you!
Holy shit I have those exact pedals.
Had them over 10 years now.
Bro you are awesome.....seriously...
Nice video. Our hi hat is 2 legs rotatable for double pedal. I just switched to a double bass kit and had to learn about the clamp.
Thank you man you solved me a Big problem with muy hihat and left pedal
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!🙏🏻 Greetings from Spain🇪🇸
For the double bass players (not double pedals), even with the legs folded, and even with 2 legs stands, it can be a bit annoying to place it if you like to have your hi hat pedal really close to your bass drum pedal, specially if you change a lot betwen pedals or if, like I often do, play both pedals simultaneously (in fact I play double pedal instead double bass for practical reasons, but I dig 2 kicks). So, a nice solution for this is using a no-leg stand, that you can attach directly to the bass drum (like in this video), but also to a rack or a cymbal stand. Gibraltar makes some no-legs hihats, as well as all necessary attachements whether you prefer to attach it to your kick or a rack/stand. But a better option in my opinion is the Mapex Falcon hihat stand. It has 2 rotary legs, like many others, but the cool thing about it is that the legs are deattachable, so it is the most versatile for this purpouse. You're gonna play tonight at a big venue and you want to use your 2 kicks? Good, just remove the legs and attach the stand to your kick or other hardware. Now you're playing at a small stage or rehearsal room and prefer using a smaller kit? Good, just re-install the legs and use it with a double pedal or whatever. Besides that, it's a great hihat stand that works really fine.
Excellent advice! I forgot about the no leg type of stands. I've never had one of those, nor a remote (cable) hat, but they're definitely interesting. I wasn't aware the removable leg type existed. Cool! Thanks for your comment, and for watching!
What I like to do is putting my hi hat pedal to the right of the left kick pedal. This way I can have my hihat closer, which I prefer. I've managed to set it up with 3 legs that way with no issues. That bass drum clamp looks nice tho, could probably also use it on a drum rack! That way legs can be of no issue!
That's an interesting idea. I'd like to see how you make that work. With a double pedal it seems the drive shaft would be in the way.
Thank you so much dude
Thanks from russia
I LOVE YOU BRO, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS!! 🙏🙏🙏
Very helpful video. Thanks!
Thanks for the info. Been struggling with the hit hat being far distance from the snare since i have my new roland ekit and double bass pedals
i don't even drum but like to think one day i will, defo gonna remember the tip about putting the open side of the hi-hat to the opposite side and the clips you can buy if your hi-hat legs can't open
Wow great vid. Just what I needed thx
Thsi noob thanks you for the tips. I might have to get a bracket to hold the stand in place.
You're welcome! I hope this has helped 🤘
I switched to a double pedal ages ago, but I still have one of those bracket somewhere.
Those are really helpful when you use two bass drums! Otherwise the hi-hat is too far away.
Hey Reuben
Happy new year!
I’ve been using bungee cords to strap my hihat stands to my bass drums. Never had a fancy mount lol
Thanks m8! this help a lot!!
Very helpful, thank you!
You're welcome! 👍
Good video. Thanks.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
Thanks 👍
well taught
Thank you!
Thanks for the video!
What is that clamp you have that is holding the hi hat stand for the double bass drum set up?? Where can I find one??
Gibraltar SC-RP171 Hh Double Bass Attachment Clamp.
amzn.to/3PmHYGI
can you adjust the beaters to be closer? mine are too far apart and don't fit on the edrum kick pad. Ill have to look.
Maybe, depending on what pedal you have.
Much easier then what I did. Fml
When I was a kid, I sawed the leg off my hi-hat stand to put it next to my double bass pedal 😂
@@drummereub lol that’s wat I got atm
I got a big ol icon rack now and still have the sawed off leg
@@tedmarchand1810 Here's an Icon clamp you can probably use to attach the hi-hat stand to your rack.

@@drummereub yea got 3 so far but I keep breaking down and using them for modules or extras for a cymbal holder
Does the mounting with H830 work pretty good until i can maybe invest in a two leg stand? My new double bass set came H830 and need a month or so to save up for a two leg stand.
Yes! It works perfectly. You probably won't even need a 2 leg stand.
@@drummereub Thanks so much for the reply! I will let you know how it does once I get it setup
So what is your favorite 2 bass drums or one bass with double kick pedals? J.w
I prefer the look, sound, and feel of two bass drums, but it's not always practical to bring a second bass drum to gigs. A double pedal with one bass drum is usually the choice for that reason.
I got rid of the legs on my hi-hat completely so nothing is in my way down there.
I'm a beginner drummer. I have about 20 hours of practice on an acoustic kit. I just bought a td-17kvx2. I'm struggling to play on it. The pads seem very bouncey. I suppose it'll just take practice. Here's my question for you. Aren't you worried about the cymbals marking up your sticks and then ripping up the mesh pads? I've read you shouldn't use drum sticks from and acoustic kit just because of that reason.
You should use nylon tip drum sticks to prevent damage to the mesh heads. Also don't use a felt bass drum beater, use plastic. A lot of beaters can be flipped over to use the felt or plastic side. The mesh heads do have a different rebound than normal drum heads, but it just takes a little adjustment. You'll get used to it, just keep playing!
@@drummereub I have nylon tipped sticks for the ekit and I'll use different sticks on the acoustic. I have the td-10 kick drum with my kit. Apparently it's not actually a mesh head. I reached out to a couple guys about using a felt beater. It's ok to use it on these kick drums but it's recommended to use a patch either way which I did. Thanks for the response.
Your playing edrumms with acoustic cymbals?
They are low volume acoustic cymbals. I don't play the rubber electric cymbals.
Hey mate, what brand are your low volume cymbals? I have been looking into jobeky since hearing great things about them. The only problem is that I'm in Australia and the import tax on the amount of cymbals I'm after is huge! Also did your cybals come with triggers or did you attach them yourself. Cheers 👍
They aren't triggered, I just use an overhead mic into a small mixing board.
Here's a video on the different types, and which ones I prefer: ua-cam.com/video/mi2cja57QLI/v-deo.html
Just play your high hat with your left hand. Simon Phillips, Billy Cobham do it. Just move your high hat off to the left.
Then you can't do eights right the pedal or all the intricate hi hat work.
