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.
I purchased a percussion set for my awesome husband and he figured out how to set everything up except the high hat. I personally never handled any percussion before so i appreciate the insight and knowledge, got it setup for him and it seems to function properly. Thank you!
I haven't played drums for years and getting them set back up so my daughter can learn (and I can get back to it!). I've forgotten certain aspects of setting it up and figuring it out again, this was a really useful helpful video, thank you 👍
Hi, for beginners like myself, this video of how to set properly the hi hat is pure gold. Simple, clear and straight to the point. Two thumbs up!. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Chile.
My little screw part came undone and o thought the whole thing was broken until I watched this. Thank you for this video I am a new drummer and it was very helpful
Thank you very much. I have just started learning to play the drums and purchased a used drum set. Somehow I did something to the high hat and it would not work. I followed your instructions and now my high hat is set up. Thanks for this great tutorial. I am now subscribed to your channel.
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
Good morning we just assembled my grandson's high hat thanks to your video we were stuck at that point after assembling the whole thing and your video help do the final piece thank you
OMYGOSH SO THANK YOUU,, I'VE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY DRUM HI HAT FOR LYK YEARS BUT THANKS TO YOU MY MAN IT GOT BETTER NOW SO VERY MUCH THANK YOOUUU!!!
Thanks. This really helped. I took my kit apart to transport it back from a gig and couldn't figure out how to get the hi-hat put back together again! I didn't take it apart before the gig and it seemed to be working but when I got it home... big mystery!
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?
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
Very helpful video! Well explained and I could see everything you were doing. Thank you from the bottom of a guitarist's heart trying to figure out drums. :)
I love it. Simply yet accurately describes how it's put together, really helped me fix my issue. I'll reccomend this video to anybody else who needs to set one up.
Well I haven't set up my drumset in a year and this is the only part I'm confused on and now I'm missing a felt do you know if I can get it at walmart or something

literally me
it's crazy how few step by step guides there are on it, nothing about setting up a hi hat is obvious or straightforward
No ballcrap, just plain simple explanation. Amazing job mate so useful!!!
I knew nothing about how to set up a hi-hat, now I do, thank you for a clear & concise explanation.
I have a 13 hi hat stand is it ok for me to put a 14 inch hi hat on that 13 hi hat stand or no
Why was there a problem with Si finding the brown from the v owl?

You finally call the bell of a cymbal by its nam. Good.
