I've had this hi hat twice now, and the first time it broke within two years, and now the second time it broke in just a few months.
The first time the bottom section of the upper part literally broke off, and the second time it stopped detecting being closed, which of of course makes it unplayable.
While it lasts its a good hihat pad, and I like it, but its just not sturdy enough to last normal playing for a longer time.
The stand is okay, nothing great, but decent for use.
I hope Thomann sends me a second replacement.
