Attaching the cymbals

Attaching the hi-hat cymbals
Attaching the ride and crash cymbals
Our drum set is starting to take shape. We've already found the position of the hi-hat
stand. What's missing now is attaching the hi-hat cymbals and adjusting the height.
First place a metal washer and the felt disk on the hi-hat stand. Then the bottom
cymbal (labelled "bottom"). Lie it freely onto the stand's felt disk.
We have to make some preparations for the top cymbal (labelled "top"). The top
cymbal is fitted with a hi-hat clutch. To do this, turn the holder upside down and lay
it in the palm of your hand. Now put on a felt disk, the top cymbal (with the dome
downwards), another felt disk, a washer and the screw connection.
Now push the top cymbal over the pull rod such that it lies loosely on the bottom
hat.
Now adjust the height of the stand such that the bottom of the hi-hat cymbal is
about the width of your hand above the snare drum's hoop.
Now tread the hi-hat pedal half way down and tighten the wing screw of the hi-hat
clutch.
The ride cymbal is placed on the right between the floor tom and the right-hand
hanging tom. To do this, we use the straight cymbal stand. As with the hi-hat, you
screw the cymbal between two felt disks. Now position the cymbal such that you can
comfortably reach it with your drumstick it doesn't hit the shell.
