The Ludwig Gig Series Hi-Hat Stand was designed for working drummers who need responsive action, flexible positioning, and dependable support in real playing situations.

A direct-pull system with sealed Speed Bearings helps keep the pedal smooth and responsive. Swivel tripod legs make it easier to position around pedals and stands, while the Aerodisc bottom cymbal tilter lets players fine-tune the lower cymbal angle for feel and articulation.

Clean setup. Solid response. Built for the gig.

The First Name in Drum Hardware.

Once your hardware is where you want it, it needs to stay there.

Gig Series hardware was designed for working drummers who need clean setups, practical adjustments, and dependable support without adding unnecessary bulk.

Across the line, Aerodyne gearless tilters allow precise positioning, Tri-Clamp tube joints help keep height settings secure, Acculite Sustain Feet help reduce vibration transfer, and the hi-hat stand delivers smooth response through a direct-pull system with sealed Speed Flyer bearings.

This first carousel covers the full Gig Series lineup. Over the next few weeks, we’ll take a closer look at each stand and the features that make the series work.

Breakbeats. Supralite. No particular plan.

Sometimes the best ideas come from trying a different setup, adding another drum, or playing something you wouldn't normally play.

This time it was a Ludwig Breakbeats kit with an 8x14 Supralite.

Just play.
