[@philemonakanji4465]

How she explained the set-up with a contagious smile is real deal for me. Thanks Gina

[@gocaps8345]

Best explanation I have seen of this yet. Having a hell of a time setting this up for my daughter

[@lizb3139]

The only straight forward video that clicked for me.Thank you

[@Zafirios]

I found this lesson very helpful. You have a straight forward, effective way of teaching, Thank you!

[@khd17]

Hi Gina, thanks so much, been playing electronic drums with fixed hi hat so just got new hi hat stand and not sorry to say , i was a bit lost , so thank you Gina, helped enormously !

[@CraigGood]

Same hat!

[@chrismorgan993]

As a beginner setting up for the first time (on my own) I really appreciate this!

[@aldencoley6841]

Thank you thank you. I’ve been looking for a video with the *whole* high hat setup. Appreciate that you did one

[@anthonyburbank5071]

Perfect Thank you fir showing how to insert the ROD, Every other video omitted this step. A million thanks.

[@marylynn2991]

Thank you. This was a big help. I have a cheap drum set that the hi hat always comes undone and I always forget how to put it back on so this was really helpful

[@CraigGood]

This is how all tutorials should be done. Thanks!

[@smoothoscillator1]

Thank you, you made assembling my hi hats a snap

[@vin72a62]

You saved my day just bought a used Pearl export series...your soft voice helpwd me get it done right

[@vin72a62]

thank you !!!!

[@thejollyllama1579]

EASILY the best video on hi hat assembly! I remember watching this a while back thinking the same thing! Thank U, my aggrevation has subsided since watching this!

[@techsavvyhero]

Thanks so much for the video! We hadn't threaded the tube during the initial assembly and the upper rod was moving up and down with the pedal. Now it's all good. :)

[@adanamaro361]

I love all of you, you happines way to teach is amazing ! Send hugs & kiss and bless

[@Celestialevent]

Had my set of Yamaha Tour Customs in storage for over 3 years. I haven't touched a drum for all of that time. Putting them back together was trial and error and taxing my memory until I found you on You Tube. Well done and thank you.

[@Mychannel377]

Oh, great! So glad the vid helped :) Have fun playing!

[@shanahaudree]

Beautiful drums and beautiful drummer nice to watched and learn so fast! Thanks

[@EchosFromaBlankMind]

I am in my mid fifties and I have been playing drums since the 70's, but I have to say that you did a wonderful job showing this process for playing drums. You were clear, succinct and informational. Not to mention that I love your voice, it is so soothing and a pleasure to listen to, being cute does not hurt either. I think I will click subscribe just to hear you more and to see you play. Great job Take care, from the left coast.

[@Mychannel377]

Hey! Thanks man - I really appreciate your wonderful feedback! Made my day! :)

[@EchosFromaBlankMind]

Gina Knight You made me blush.....your welcome. I did watch some of your other videos and must also say you play quite well. Where were you when I was in Band, Marching Band, Orchestra and Jazz band during High School In the 70's. We could have used more girls like you. Glad to see more girls playing and also at such a high caliber of playing. I have a 6 year old grandaughter, and would love for her to take on drumming, but we will wait and see (She is a little on the independent wild side, just like a drummer heh heh). Keep up the good work.

[@Mychannel377]

EchosFromaBlankMind Thanks so much, and please give my best to your spitfire granddaughter! ;) My first instrument was piano -- I started when I was 5 years old, and had 5 years of it - I am really grateful for that foundation now when looking back.

[@EchosFromaBlankMind]

Gina Knight Who knows what she will get into, her brother just started the trumpet and he is doing well. Whatever she wants to do, I will be behind her, plus I don't have to hear her practice, Ha Ha! Just kidding. Luckily I can still read music, just a bit rusty on it. You are a great inspiration to girls/woman from all over, keep up the good work. Better than religion any day!

[@nataliaalbrecht3408]

I just assembled it, thank you for this video!!!! It worked for me

[@Lightner445555555555]

Gina, you have the most soothing voice 😌.

[@sstrunks8000]

Thanks! You just saved me 3 hours.

[@carenmoore6995]

I watched several other how to's on youtube that were supposed to explain how to put the hi hat together & out of all of them yours was by far the best & easiest to understand. The others left me still not knowing how to put it together & yours I had it done in less than your 3 minute video. LOL! Thanks! It didn't even matter that the brand was different. Nice and clear!

[@Mychannel377]

Thank you Caren! I am so glad this helped. Thanks for the wonderful feedback. :)

[@paolobellini8556]

Thank you so much Gina! I appreciate your help!

[@haha6m]

Thanks for so much for the detailed guide. I was so confused why my upper tube is so much longer than what's shown in pictures.

[@aliciaeastman3415]

This video is better than the one Tama has. I had to look at a photo of the one I sold, and I wasn’t sure I had it exactly right. This video is great. My new cymbals sound so sweet. I’m glad I found your channel. Thank you.

[@ext1013]

you awesomely explains this thoroughly easy to understand way. thank you.

[@Nudrummerat49]

Thanks Gina - I needed that help! Great video!

[@jeffy7360]

My parents brought my drum set to me and when I was trying to assemble it back together the high-hat wasn't stable enough. Fixed it thanks to your vid!

[@57too]

Thanks for the info, love! I have a small drum kit that every time my friend comes by he wants to play drums but he fucked up the hi hat and I am a songwriter not a drummer but anyway, your video taught me how to put it back normal! Chhhhheeeers.

[@ratnac9036]

Thanks - it helped me fix my HH!

[@ram7270]

Great video! And you as always, beautiful and professional.

[@odiobara2731]

Thank you for taking the time, very helpful.

[@harrybaules]

gina! you're famous now! wow! Why am I not surprised. Great to see you on YT. I was looking up vids to help set up my nephew's drum set and all of a sudden I see your name on the left hand suggested videos. Awesome. Guess who I am. Think Royal. :)

[@MJCGuitar]

Thank you! Worked perfectly🌟

[@Seeforth1]

Nicely done Gina. Much appreciated.

[@thesuccessfulbarber]

i started using 16'' crash cymbals for my hats.. it puts a lot of wear on the stands but the sound is so powerful

[@davidmathews2599]

How's that workin out for you three years later. Did you realize yet that regular cymbals were not meant to be high hats?

[@christopherkennedy873]

No rules. (Beware the drum police!) ✌️❤️🥁

[@asherc2809]

[@twinkletoes5209]

thank you !!😭😭this helped so much

[@andrewtautua6271]

Thank you so much this really help with my struggling going

[@TheSMPStudios]

Great video! One thing, though. Just some advice from many years of touring and playing. Loosen the hi hat clutch just a bit. In the same way that tightening cymbal felts prevent the cymbal from vibrating freely a clutch that is too tight does the same thing. As opposed to crash or ride cymbals where you can hear the cymbal being choked, you might not hear a sonic difference on the hi hat. Where you will see it is in circular cracks in the bell of the cymbal. Just a suggestion, but your vids are great!!!

[@Mychannel377]

Cool Sammy - good point. :) Thanks

[@user-xz8bp4oh1i]

Brilliant video thank you Best wishes David

[@thomasjohnson2497]

Great video - very helpful!

[@1forall224]

Thank you. I was ready to throw it out the window and this video saved me 😁

[@electricbill4884]

Thank you so much, very helpful.

[@amykinnaird124]

thank you so much, I had the long thin tube upside down, then I was wondering why nothing would fit over it lol! xx

[@barnabascee1889]

I think I figured out what's wrong. I'm using the terminology I saw on one web page. It seems like the rod isn't moving independently of the inner tube. I think it's too tightly connected. I tried loosening the rod. It turns (with a pliers), but never gets loose enough to actually function properly with the pedal. I can physically (and with effort) move it up and down inside the inner tube with my hand, but not with the pedal. Am I supposed to lubricate the inside of it? When I force it, it sounds scratchy.

[@mziv888]

Thanks so much for this.

[@robertoqcflores]

Obrigado Gina Knight, seu vídeo foi muito útil para mim, legal.

[@soccerrayray9]

Thanks!! Super helpful

[@muny_man]

My high hat pole( the pole that goes up and down) is wiggly/ loose. How do I make it straight and steady? Help!

[@jimmyparker9236]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[@Mychannel377]

Asha Love -- so glad to hear it!! :)

[@AshleyMendozaThegreatashleyto]

Gina Knight I need your help I'm new to drumming, while playing my hi hat stopped going up and down. I tried taking it apart but nothing seems to work, I'm not sure what's wrong. The bottom rod seems fine and is moving but the top rod just sinks down a lot and doesn't move. I could really use some help drumming isn't the same without a hi-hat :(

[@dakotacollins702]

Ashley Mendoza Did you check to make sure the two rods are connected. You can take both hi hat cymbals off then pull the stand up and there will be an opening where you can see if the two rods are connected. They screw together and that's what makes the hi hat clutch together. Same thing happens to me or at least that what it sounds like.

[@AshleyMendozaThegreatashleyto]

Dakota Collins I checked too see if they were connected but their not how can I connect them is their like a screw? It looks like their is something missing when I took them apart, It doesn't seem to connect at all.

[@dakotacollins702]

Ashley Mendoza Mine screw together. For me the bottom one is the screw part and the top part screws around. But I think on most drum kits they have the screw part on top and the bottom screws on. Either way there are two rods in the the hi hat that screw together one is the top one that you put your hi hat cymbals on and the other one is on the bottom and is connected to the hi hat.

[@oliviacarter9767]

Gina Knight Wwe see eudjdshs

[@quintonclyde198]

The upper tube is moving with the rod I can't figure out to stop it

[@tarakprasad4696]

You are my best

[@SamAshbrook]

does it not work if you dont have the second piece of felt. :(

[@jordonpolete7381]

Is there supposed to be a washer under the felt?? Under the bottom cymbal!

[@barnabascee1889]

Sorry for the newbie question. My hi-hat collapsed. I'm trying to fix it. I think I'm doing everything correctly, but when I use the pedal the whole assembly goes up and down. The bottom and the top just move together. I know it's something obvious to someone else, but not to me. Can someone help me out?

[@bcnzpb]

Putting a drum kit together for my boy, and your video is the shizz. Easy to follow

[@acehamilton8303]

Thank you so much!

[@abecananimate2097]

When I put the upper tube in, there’s a screw in the way and I’m literally going insane because of it. Does anyone know a fix?

[@drrendezvous1014]

Thanks, Gina! You were infinitely more helpful with constructing my hihat than those dreadful instructions. Yeesh!

[@paistekid]

Depending on the movement of the top hat and the type of sound you want to hear...do not tighten the top hat too much. I personally like it lose to get that sloshy feel that you cannot attain playing the hat partially opened.

[@franciscojaviergutierrezvi2379]

[@CESAR-wq6dy]

Por favor... hay 10 videos haciendo lo mismo, saben que es armar y desarmar o como se arma un hot hat realmente? Esto lo puede hacer un mono, hagan un video de co.o se arma y se desarma, sentido común, solo poner los platos? Les parece que tiene sentido este contenido..?
