With its far-reaching player accommodations, detachable legs, and extreme height adjustability, the Mapex Falcon HF1000 promises to be the last hi-hat stand you'll ever buy. The Falcon was developed with Mapex artists to provide the best, most natural experience to the highest number of pro drummers. Veteran players will appreciate the HF1000's precise, direct-pull-chain-drive-mechanism, which is enhanced in the latest model. While newcomers will be quick to note the Falcon's rugged machined durability, built for the road without hogging a hardware bag.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


One stand for all playing heights





Sweetwater drummers were pleased to see the range of height options afforded the Mapex Falcon HF1000. Whether you're a Grohl (high) or a Cobham (low), this stand is made to accommodate all player preferences.





Save money when you go legless





Unlike most hi-hat stands, the Mapex Falcon HF1000 converts from a traditional stand to legless for use in a rack system. This is just another reason why the HF1000 may be the only stand you ever need.





Find your best posture with the adjustable footboard





Like the Mapex Falcon bass pedal, the MF1000 hi-hat stand lets you raise and lower the footboard angle to find what's most comfortable for you. For instance, if you keep time with your whole leg, you might prefer a lower angle than a player with a lighter touch.





Adjust resistance on the fly





While many high-end hat stands offer adjustable tension, the Falcon's tensioner is refreshingly simple to use. Resistance adjusts with the twist of a knob for real-time feedback. Light (L) and Heavy (H) ends of the spectrum are clearly marked for visual reference.





Stop creepin' while you're timekeepin'





The Mapex Falcon hi-hat stand has retractable spikes built into its slip-resistant rubber feet. This really helps keep the stand in place through heavy use, especially on wood and carpeted surfaces. Not to worry ? the spikes fold up to prevent scratching.
