It’s exactly as I thought it would be. Works well. I can get great hihat tones and control with this stand. Little wear in some places but extremely trivial. The bag was nice. Over all I am extremely pleased with this product.
Not my first 9000 hi hat but the one i always use, heavy duty and dependable, smooth and quick and just as good as my DW Direct Drive hi hat so don't waste your cash, go with the 9000 hi hat.
