Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
In the world of drum hardware, the 5500 has established itself as a reliable choice "for decades" thanks to robust construction and mechanical decisions focused on durability. This 2-leg XF Extended BASE(TM) version retains the DNA of the well-known model, adding a longer BASE to better integrate with modern setups, especially XF double pedal configurations.
Who This Hi-Hat Stand Is For
This hi-hat stand targets intermediate to advanced drummers seeking a solid, stable, and precise stand capable of supporting demanding styles (rock, metal, funk, live pop, worship, studio). Its 2-leg format and swiveling legs make it a relevant choice for those playing with a double pedal who want to optimize ergonomics without sacrificing foot feel.
Features and Innovations
The philosophy of the 5500 is clear: deliver "heavy" hardware with smooth and consistent mechanics. The double chain provides even traction, while the foldable aluminum base plate simplifies transport and storage. In this XF variant, the Extended BASE increases the support area and eases integration into double pedal setups, while retaining essential adjustments such as the lateral cymbal seat adjustment.
Sound Characteristics
A stand does not "create" the sound, but it directly influences your control and the consistency of the hi-hat. The stability of a heavy construction and the solidity of the base help achieve a more consistent chick, a crisper closure, and a more predictable response across dynamics (from light touches to heavy playing). The double chain drive also helps maintain a firm feel, useful for quick openings, splashes, and tight rhythms.
