TAMA Speed Cobra Lever Glide Hi-hat Stand

I've been with Tama for over thirty years, I get product updates sent to my e-mail account. I purchased not only the HH915D but also the HP910LN matching Bass Drum Pedal. Having purchased the first generation of these a few years back and assigning them to my practice kit because I felt there wasn't a big enough difference to my Iron Cobra match to use them on my performing kit; I was waiting for the improvement that would make me feel comfortable leaving Iron Cobra. After viewing the video of each,,, I knew these were it, they've arrived! I've been working with them, played my first "Live" gig with them and I was floating, they're faster then I am! They respond to the slightest command, I couldn't be happier and right away I'm asking myself why would anyone want to use anything else. The new heel-plate makes a huge difference even though I'm a heel-up player, you sense its there; your foot feels connected to the long pedal now, missing in the first generation. The swinging spring connect on the Bass Drum Pedal; that's were the floating comes from. Both of these new models are worth your investment. Frank DeFonda.

Smooth action, nice quality. A lot of bang for the buck

I think that my favorite thing about this hi hat is the tilt option. I was able to place the footboard as far away as was comfortable for me and then tilt the cymbals closer in. The only negative thing for me is the cymbal tilter, but I don't think that it is wrong, I just don't have it figured out yet. Everything else about it is great, love the longboard sitting right next to my Speed cobra! I've played lots of different drums but I have always used Tama hardware, love their stuff.
