Millenium DHS-6918C Hi-Hat Stand

I have had very good experience with millenium hardware (drum thrones, clamps etc) but this time I was pleasantly surprised! This hi-hat stand is extremely sturdy, very heavy legs(i have tried stand 5 times the price and many times they were not up to the task), the footboard is very solid with dual chain, the two legs make it easy to bring it next to the double pedal and switch between them. The pedal feel adjustments could be a bit better but again it has agood mechanism with strong plastic for the rotating part. Finally you can easily adjust the angle of the hi-hat as you would do with an expensive stand. I unreservedly highly recommend this product!!!

This was the first time I acquired a "real" hihat stand, being an eDrum player frustrated with the sound of the electronic hihat.

This turned out to be a real disappointment: the unit was wrongly assembled at the factory. After consulting with Thomann support I had to detach the chain from the pedal in order to rotate some parts to where they should be at the factory, basically redoing part of the assembly that was done at the factory. During those tasks I noticed how easily the black paint on the base was damaged by simply handling the unit. A cosmetic issue but nonetheless a major sign of careless product design. A proper metal surface preparation would make the paint adhere in a more robust way.

When I finally had the unit assembled, I noticed that the adjustment screw on the bottom plate support was missing. I found it inside the box but the spring was nowhere to be seen. To top it all, the big metal washer that sits below the rubber disk supporting the lower plate was so badly bent that I still can't imagine how this could happen or passed unnoticed.

However the quick and professional response from Thomann support managed to turn an horrible product experience into a happy customer, given the lengths that they went to mitigate the defects.

I'm just thrilled with this two-legged hi-hat rack! This is a real godsend for any drummer. Firstly, it is incredibly stable — even with the most intense game, the hi-hat remains in place, without the slightest shifts or vibrations. The design is thought out to the smallest detail: two legs provide maximum stability, and adjustable elements allow you to adjust the rack to any style of playing and the set of the drum kit.

The materials are of high quality, the assembly is at the highest level — it feels like the manufacturer cares about his customers. The stand is easy to fold and transport, which is especially important for musicians who often perform or rehearse in different places.

Separately, I would like to note the smoothness of the pedal — no jamming or excessive noise, just a clear and responsive response. This is a really professional tool that significantly improves the quality of the game.

If you are looking for a reliable, comfortable and durable hi-hat rack, then this is exactly what you need. I am absolutely satisfied with my purchase and recommend this model to all drummers, regardless of their skill level!
