Regardless of your drumming style, the Machined Direct Drive hi-hat stand will accommodate it. Its one-touch clutch makes cymbal tension adjustments a breeze, while its offset cymbal seat adjustment ensures lightning-quick bottom cymbal angle positioning. DW’s vertical spring tension adjustment controls the stand’s overall spring tension with a cutting-edge machined slider. You also get a selectable-action direct-pull system that toggles between a direct and a floating feel, plus an adjustable-height footboard. The drummers here at Sweetwater appreciate the MDD’s high level of adjustability — it’s the next best thing to using a custom-built piece of drum hardware.
