I have an aged (mid 80's probably) Premier hi hat stand I am particularly fond of. It owes me nothing, if I'm honest but I want to keep hold of it.

The shelf has broken, the upright that the bottom cymbal sits on snapped off and in the process of removing it I snapped another part.

I measured the outer diameter of the upright at 22mm and ordered a Gibraltar replacement that "fits most up to 22mm" but it is too small.

I have bought some measuring callipers and they say the upright is 22.5mm but despite all efforts searching the web I can't find a suitable replacement.

Does anyone know where I can source a replacement?

Plan b is to buy a new upright the correct diameter if I can't get the right one.

Thanks all!

Probably too late, but...

Many thanks all, the Rockem one is too big as the internal diameter of the tube is 18.44mm

I'll buy a new upright, I think.

If you have nearby a well used rehearsal room or studio go and see if they have any scrap bits in a dark corner.
All sorts of old throw-aways lurk in them places.

If you ever shop in Liverpool look up Vulcan studios located, logically, in Vulcan street on the "Dock Rd" (local parlance or Regent Road as it is properly named on maps).



Make sure to take your wheels, & battery with you and don't park up after dark!!


Vulcan is too out of the way for the local thieves as they can't walk that far and the cars aren't good enough to nick. Derrall very posh an only nick merckhs and beemersss cos dey cant get dere eds round a stick shift thingy.

Sadly having checked my spares box there isn't one, I still gig my old 250 stand as it's lightweight and works, but that part is quite fragile!

NDF in September? I know its a long time to wait but all sorts of bits and bobs turn up there.

Sadly, I can't find mine right now.

Rockem does a hi-hat seat that can go either outside or inside the tube. An inexpensive experiment if you can't source one otherwise.

I think I may have a Prem one gathering dust.
