Gator 500 Series Hi Hat Stand, 2-Leg

Fluid Response, Compact Footprint: Gator Percussion 500 Series Two-Legged Hi-Hat Stand Innovative Two-Legged Architecture for Complex Footwork

The Gator Percussion 500 Series (GP-HHS-500) Two-Legged Hi-Hat Stand is a professional, medium-weight stand engineered for drummers who require exceptional pedal feel and absolute stability. A standout feature of this stand is its rotating, two-legged tripod architecture. By eliminating the traditional front third leg, this design frees up valuable floor space, allowing the stand to seamlessly integrate into complex multi-pedal configurations, such as double bass drum pedals, auxiliary percussion triggers, or tightly arranged acoustic setups, without sacrificing structural balance.

Customizable Tension and Precision Articulation

Driven by a lightning-fast direct chain drive pull system, the GP-HHS-500 offers an immediate, highly responsive connection underfoot. It features a spacious 9.5” footboard that ensures comfortable leverage from heel to toe. To perfectly match your playing dynamics, the stand is outfitted with an easy-access twist-lock tension adjuster offering four distinct resistance levels. Additionally, an integrated bottom cymbal tilt adjuster allows you to fine-tune the angle of the lower hat, entirely eliminating sonic choking from airlock and dramatically sharpening your cymbal articulation for more expressive stick work.

Rapid Stage Setup and Heavy-Duty Foundation

Finding your perfect physical alignment is effortless with a flexible height range that adjusts smoothly from 27.5” to 39” at the bottom cymbal seat. The stand features spring-loaded tube joints and integrated memory locks that instantly recall your preferred height setting night after night. At the top, a heavy-duty side-pull quick-release clutch securely clamps the top cymbal without scratching the pull rod, allowing you to swap out or pack down cymbals in seconds. This clutch is paired with rounded rubber washers that enhance overall cymbal resonance and sustain compared to traditional felt alternatives.

Rigidly Anchored Stability

Weighing a robust 8.8 lbs., this stand is built to handle heavy, energetic live playing. It is constructed with premium steel, double-braced legs and anchored by a heavy-duty solid metal base plate that prevents the footboard from flexing or twisting under load. To keep the stand firmly planted on any venue floor, the bottom of the base plate features a high-traction rubber grip alongside spring-loaded metal anchor spikes that bite securely into drum carpets, ensuring your hi-hat pedal never walks mid-groove.
