How to Set Up a High Hat Stand for a Drum Set

"SHAUN SCHAEFER: Hi, I'm Shaun Schaefer on behalf of Expert Village. And today, we're going to learn how to set up a drum kit. Now, that we have all the drums set up, now it's time to start setting up the cymbals stands. We're going to start off with the hi-hat stand. So just loosen this guy right here. It's going to allow the legs to come out, just a little. Hold that up. You want to make sure this is off the ground, and the only thing that's touching the ground are the three legs, if not it will be very wobbly. So that is that. I'm going to tighten it. Then I'd like to put it in the position where I think it's going to go. Just eyeballing it that looks good, and then I'm going to put my feet on the pedals and make sure that my legs are comfortable with how I'm sitting and I'm not reaching anywhere. So this feels--that feels really good, and I think that's where that's going to stay. So now, we have all the drums set up and our hi-hat stand, it's time to set up our first cymbal stand."
