We always talk about bass drum pedals costing a grand, but I never hear about HH stands.
I recently changed to using an Axis vortex stand and really like it, but the footboard angle is too high and can't be adjusted given limited design. Axis sent me some parts to customize it which I've yet to do. For now I have it set on its lowest and this means the hats are at the same level as the snare, which I'm getting used to . . . super low.
Some stands I've found don't allow you to pop your heel and create sound.
Since I began playing I've used the old Ludwig stands, but just changed to Axis. Here's another problem with the Axis: the rod is so thick you can't put certain HH cymbals on it because the hole is too small!
