Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
This DW hi-hat stand fits within a "pro hardware" approach focused on performance: robust mechanics, comprehensive adjustments, and design built to withstand tours as well as long studio sessions. The Delta name emphasizes smoothness and stability, two key criteria for drummers who demand constant control of the hi-hat.
Who This Hi-Hat Stand Is For
This model is aimed at intermediate to advanced drummers seeking a responsive, adjustable, and reliable hi-hat stand. It is perfectly suited for styles requiring precise footwork and clean articulations, such as funk, pop, modern jazz, gospel, as well as rock and metal when precise closing and impeccable hold are desired.
Features and Innovations
Adjustments are at the heart of this hi-hat stand: the adjustable spring tension allows you to set the resistance underfoot (softer for finesse, firmer for attack and speed). The tiltable bottom cup helps align the cymbals according to your playing style, promoting a drier "chick," reducing unwanted contacts, and enhancing control. The rotating tripod facilitates positioning around a double pedal or compact kit, while the memory rings ensure quick reassembly with consistent settings.
Sound
A hi-hat stand does not add "tone" in the sense of a drum shell's wood, but it directly influences the articulation and consistency of the hi-hat. Thanks to the ball bearing hinge, the motion is smoother and more consistent, resulting in crisper closings and more gradual openings. This provides a more precise "chick," easier half-open control, and better dynamic nuance management, from muffled to sharp playing.
Stability (double base, stabilizer plate) also contributes to the sound: a stand that doesn't move maintains the same angle and pressure, thus delivering a more uniform response, especially appreciated in the studio or when playing loudly on stage.
