"Spur-Lok" is NOT a style of stand. It is merely a reference to the thing on the heel plate that has the "teeth" on it that digs in and keeps the pedal from creeping.

As far as styles of hi-hat stands, YES, Ludwig had different incarnations of Atlas hardware. Several different Ludwig hi-hat stands incorporate the Spur-Lok gadget, but there are no Spur-Lok pedals per se.

The court has spoken!!:)Yes Sir

Thanks O-lugs....I was holding back a bit on the name thing... :D

Yes, the original "Atlas" hi-hat stand, aka the "Big-Beat" hi-hat stand, is made of smaller diameter tubing as compared to the Atlas cymbal, snare, tom stands and thrones. It was the first piece of "heavy-duty" hardware that Ludwig offered, along side the "Buck Rogers" snare stand that predated the Atlas snare stand. It may be small diameter tubing compared to the later Herculese and Modular series, but it is every bit as rugged. Much more so than the earlier "flat-base" aka "classic", (some say Ringo) series hi-hat stand. The tubing diameter may be the same between those two series of stands, but the Atlas/Big-beat stand is just more stable. Try it out, I think you'll like it. Nice thing about it is this: its rugged, YET lightweight! :D

Thanks gentlemen....I do realize that it is an ATLAS, which I should of stated from the top. Does this mean it may be from the late sixties? Is there a better match of hi hat stand that goes with my set of 1972 ATLAS cymbal stands. I will try to post pics Mr. O-Lug. Cool1

That IS the match for the Atlas cymbal stands.
