Protecting Your Hi-Hat Rod While Traveling
.
When moving your hi-hat stand, the rod is one of the most vulnerable parts—it can easily get bent or damaged. Here’s how to keep it safe:
✅ Remove the Hi-Hat Rod – Most hi-hat stands allow you to unscrew the rod from the base. Taking it out prevents it from bending during transport.
✅ Store It Separately – Keep the rod in a stick bag, drum case, or even a small protective tube to avoid accidental damage.
