How to Make a Hi-Hat Stand

Step 8 The Result and the Future

Now you can add your newly crafted hi-hat stand to your drum kit and start playing!

I'm rather pleased with how this project turned out. The design wasn't hard, the parts weren't too expensive, and the build wasn't complicated, and now I have a very functional and decent-sounding hi-hat addition to my drum set!

You may want to make some improvements on my design. If you do, be sure to let me know. I'd love to see what you've done!

• Put end caps on the feet. This will help keep the stand from wobbling, although your foot does a pretty good job keeping it stable.
• Fashion a better foot pedal. A piece of OSB is not the most attractive pedal, and it could also be secured to the base in some way.
• Make it easily adjustable. Some sort of DIY clutch for adjusting the hat height would be nice, as well as an easy way to adjust the overall height.
• Make it look pretty. I plan on painting mine soon, probably some crazy color.
