Canopus CHS-1 Lightweight Hi-Hat Stand for Drummers - Professional Grade Aluminum Construction for Smooth Performance | Perfect for Studio Recording, Live Gigs & Practice Sessions

I've used Yamaha hardware my whole career and love it -- I still think it's the best engineered hardware in the industry. But even Yamaha's lightest gear can still get heavy. I've been re-outfitting my jazz kit (Gretsch four-piece be-bop configuration) with the lightest yet most professional and reliable hardware I can find and Canopus is my hands-down solution. I started by trying the straight cymbal stands and was delighted. I just tried the high-hat stand and was incredibly impressed. So much lighter and such a smaller footprint in my trap case. I used it on a three-hour gig for the first time last night and it performed perfectly. I have no complaints and recommend it highly. Next up: Trying the Canopus snare stand.
