help re: vintage K hi-hat

Posts: 417 Threads: 22

I have a pair of 15" Old Stamp Istanbul K hats. I use them with a Yamaha HS 740 stand. The clutch does fit the hole of the hat, but it is threaded all the way through so be watchful for potential key-holing. The cymbal seat centre-piece is slightly too wide though to fit the hole. What I did was sand and file the plastic centre-piece down, decreasing its diameter, so that it now fits the hole. It doesn't take much work to do this and the result is great.

Here is a pic of these Yammy stands:

Thanks!! Whata kick....I think the only hi-hat I held onto from older sets (aside from my old luddy) is a Yamaha. I'll pull it out after work & check.

Terrific!

One last quick thought...

For cups that are too large, I've used a small clutch mounted upside down to attach the bottom cymbal, the pull rod slide right through.
