DW 5000 Series Hi-Hat Stand 2 Leg

The DW 5000 Series Hi-Hat Stand 2 Leg gives drummers a durable, responsive hi-hat stand with extra pedal-area clearance and trusted DW 5000 Series hardware stability. Its folding footboard, Delta Ball-Bearing Hinge, lateral cymbal seat adjustment, double-braced legs, locking clutch, and 2-leg rotating design support smooth action, precise cymbal control, and flexible setup placement. Available from West Coast Drum Shop in Bellevue, WA, this stand is a strong choice for players who want sturdy hi-hat hardware that works well with double bass pedal layouts.

Product Description

The DW 5000 Series Hi-Hat Stand 2 Leg is built for players who need a stable hi-hat stand that can fit cleanly into modern pedal-heavy drum setups. The 2-leg design leaves more space around the footboard area than a traditional 3-leg stand, making it especially useful when positioning a double pedal slave unit, auxiliary pedal, or compact hardware layout. This gives the player more freedom to arrange the hi-hat without fighting for floor space around the bass drum pedal.

DW equips this model with a folding footboard and Delta Ball-Bearing Hinge, a combination designed to make the stand easier to pack while keeping the pedal motion smooth and consistent. The hinge supports efficient footboard movement, which helps the stand feel controlled during foot chicks, splashes, open-close patterns, and steady timekeeping. For players who depend on detailed hi-hat work, that smooth mechanical feel can make the stand more comfortable during long rehearsals, sessions, and gigs.

The lateral cymbal seat allows the bottom hi-hat cymbal angle to be adjusted more precisely. This adjustment affects how the top and bottom cymbals meet, which can influence closed articulation, open wash, splash response, and how quickly the hats speak under the foot. The included locking clutch helps keep the top cymbal secure while allowing natural sizzle and movement.

The stand also uses double-braced legs for dependable support. The 5000 Series hardware line is designed around stability and durability, and this hi-hat stand fits that purpose with reinforced construction built for regular playing. Its rotating 2-leg design allows the leg position to be adjusted around pedals and nearby stands, helping the player create a cleaner and more comfortable setup.

Function & Use

The DW 5000 Series Hi-Hat Stand 2 Leg is designed for smooth hi-hat control, stable placement, and flexible pedal-area positioning. The folding footboard and Delta Ball-Bearing Hinge provide a responsive pedal feel, allowing the player to move between tight closed notes, strong foot chicks, quick splashes, and open hi-hat textures with reliable control.

The 2-leg rotating layout is one of the stand's most practical advantages. By reducing the number of legs around the pedal area and allowing the leg position to rotate, the stand can be placed more easily next to double pedals, snare stands, and cymbal hardware. This helps reduce hardware conflicts while keeping the hi-hat in a comfortable playing position.

The lateral cymbal seat lets the player fine-tune the bottom cymbal angle for better contact between the hi-hats. A small change in the bottom cymbal angle can make the hats feel tighter, looser, drier, or washier depending on the cymbal pair and playing preference. The locking clutch helps maintain the top cymbal position so the response stays consistent once the setup is dialed in.

Double-braced legs and 5000 Series construction give the stand a secure feel under regular playing force. This makes it suitable for home practice, teaching studios, rehearsals, recording sessions, and live performance where dependable hardware placement matters.
