The Gator 500 Series 2-legged hi-hat stand combines responsive direct-chain action with a rotating leg assembly that opens floor space around double bass pedals and other hardware. Its 27.5"–39" height range, 9.5" footboard and four-level twist-lock tension adjustment let drummers tailor playing position and pedal response. Integrated memory locks help restore preferred settings, while the heavy-duty solid base plate, rubber grip and spring-loaded spikes resist movement. A quick-release side-pull clutch speeds top-cymbal changes, and adjustable bottom-cymbal tilt helps reduce air lock for clearer articulation during practice, rehearsals and gigs.
