I have a hi hat stand of unknown origin that has some...issues. It is quite short for my liking, and the tubing above the base is bent to the point that the hats are touching in one place or another at all times. I figured instead of buying another stand, the best thing to do would be to replace the tubing. What I have now is 14" long, but I'd like it to be around 18" or 20" so I can set the clutch near the top of the pull rod and have he hats higher up. The stand itself is 31" tall, but counting the pull rod it is 39".
Has anyone else tried this? Or would it be considered 'taboo'?
