The Meinl Cymbals X-Hat Cymbal Stand Arm is an essential tool for drummers looking to enhance their setup with auxiliary hihats or stacks. This innovative arm allows you to mount stationary hihats anywhere on your kit, making it perfect for quick and minimal setups. The solid chrome plated steel construction ensures that everything stays in place, allowing you to play grooves open handed instead of cross hand.
One of the standout features of this product is the spring-loaded infinite control dial, which provides unlimited tension settings on your cymbals. Whether you want a completely open hihat sound, a slightly loose sizzle effect, or a tightly closed crisp 'chick', the X-Hat Arm can accommodate your needs. This versatility is crucial for drummers who want to explore different sound textures.
Another significant advantage of the Meinl X-Hat Arm is its compatibility with most cymbal sizes. Whether you have a 6ft mini hihat pair or a larger 18ft stack, this arm will work seamlessly with your setup. This flexibility allows you to customize your sound and adapt to various musical styles.
The design of the arm includes two 360-degree angle adjustment points, enabling you to find the perfect placement on your kit. This feature is particularly useful for navigating crowded spaces, ensuring that your setup remains functional and efficient. Additionally, the cymbal tilter allows for fine-tuning of your final angle, giving you complete control over your sound.
Included in the box are essential components such as a knurled boom arm, clamp, mini hihat rod, padded felt hihat seat with bottom cymbal angle adjustment, standard hihat clutch, and felts for your top cymbal. Please note that cymbals are not included. The total arm length, including the tilter, is 15.5ft, with a length of 5.25ft from the hihat seat to the end of the rod.
