Detail 01
Offset legs
The legs rotate out of the way of a double pedal's slave beater, so the hi-hat can sit tight against the snare.

DW6500 Ultralight Hi-Hat Cymbal Stand
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A lightweight double-braced-alternative hi-hat stand with an offset leg design. For drummers who want stable footing without hauling heavy hardware.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Gigging drummers carrying hardware up stairs and into small venues
- Fitting a hi-hat close to a double pedal without leg conflict
- Replacing a wobbly entry-level stand without a weight penalty
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers who want maximum mass for heavy-footed playing
- Anyone needing a rack-mount or clamp-on hi-hat setup
- Players on a tight budget replacing basic hardware
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Ultralight design
Less tube mass to carry. The tradeoff is less dead weight anchoring it during hard playing.
Detail 03
6500 series hardware
DW's lighter hardware line, built for portability rather than the heft of their heavy-duty stands.
Detail 04
Hi-hat specific
Includes the pedal, pull rod, and clutch mechanism. It is not a cymbal boom stand.
Detail 05
Adjustable tension
Sets how hard the pedal pushes back, which changes chick response and how fast the hats close.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Cymbals not included — this is the stand only
- 02Light stands can creep forward; a drum rug helps hold position
- 03Check clutch felt condition on arrival before mounting good hi-hats
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work with a double bass pedal?
Yes. The offset leg design is specifically there to clear the second pedal and let you position the hi-hat where you want it.
02Is a lightweight stand stable enough for hard playing?
It is built for stability at lower weight, but heavy-footed drummers on slick floors may want a rug or a heavier stand to keep it planted.
03Does it include a hi-hat clutch?
Yes, a hi-hat stand includes the clutch and pull rod needed to mount and operate the top cymbal.
04Can I use this to hold a single crash?
No. It is a hi-hat stand with a pedal and pull rod. A crash needs a straight or boom cymbal stand.
