Hey Guys,
Why did manufacturers quit making the flush base hi-hat stands where one of the legs is under the foot board? Stability reasons? Harder to break down?
I've been looking locally for one of nice shape at a reasonable price and just can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Although I have never played one of this style, I really like the clean classic look and like the idea of having more room for other pedals without having to compromise with working around the hi-hat legs.
Thanks,
Wes
Here is an example of the type of stand I am interested in.

There are some on Ebay for sale but, they are quite pricey. A PDP is under fifty Canadian dollars so much less America (no clutch though). I wish I had thought of this idea before I spent weeks modifying a cajon pedal so the cable would give me more room to experiment with a double bass! Hope this might help.

The medium duty Slingerland HH pedal from the 60's/70's was like that.
I've got one of the 2-legged Slingerland hihat stands I'd be willing to part with if you're interested.

Salty,
Thanks for the idea but I'm wanting to try a flush bottom stand to keep with the vintage theme of me set.

I had a similar Meazzi Hollywood hi hat that had a nice feel.
The medium duty Slingerland stand is flush-base.
Growing up i had one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Ludwig-Standard-Hi-Hat-Stand-Flat-Base-Late-60s-or-early-70s-/302247428096?hash=item465f59c000:g:8gYAAOSwx6pYtju2
