ABSTRACT:
A high hat stand for a pair of cymbals, including a support for a stationary cymbal and a vertically slidable coaxial operating rod for a cooperating movable cymbal. A spring returns the movable cymbal off the stationary one. A foot pedal operates the movable cymbal against the stationary cymbal. The connection between the foot pedal and the movable cymbal comprises a pair of rotary members, one connected to and movable by the foot pedal and the other connected to move the operating rod for the movable cymbal. The rotary members are attached to the same axis to rotate together. From the axis of rotation to its point of operative connection, the lever arm of the rotary member connected to the foot pedal is longer than the lever arm of the rotary member connected to the operating rod of the movable cymbal. Each rotary member is defined either by a lever or a sprocket. An additional swingable arm may be connected to the axis of the rotary members to enable the axis to swing with respect to the movable cymbal operating rod when the rotary member connected to the cymbal operating rod is a lever. This reduces the effect of lateral bias on the rod due to swinging of the lever as it rotates around its axis.
