A high hat stand keeps high hat cymbals straight on a floor, and crashes the
top
cymbal against the bottom cymbal in response to player's fooling, wherein a toggle
joint is connected between an extension rod connected to the top cymbal, a foot
board depressed by the player and a stationary frame so as to achieve a large magnification
ratio between the force exerted on the foot board and the force exerted on the
extension rod, thereby improving the response to the player's footing.
