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 rotary member connected to and movable by the foot pedal and connected to move the operating rod for the movable cymbal. 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. The rotary member is defined either by a lever or a wheel. An additional swingable arm may be connected to the axis of the rotary member to enable the axis to swing with respect to the movable cymbal operating rod when the connection from the rotary member to the rod swings through an arc. This reduces the effect of lateral bias on the rod due to swinging of the lever as it rotates around its axis.
