The 1960s Ludwig Speed King hi-hat stand is a true piece of drum history from the golden era of American hardware. Speed King gear is famous for its smooth, direct feel and rock-solid construction, and these stands are still sought after by players who like old-school response and bulletproof build quality. These examples are in great shape for their age, which is getting harder and harder to find. We currently have two available, perfect for a vintage kit build or a period-correct setup.

Key Features

  • 1960s Ludwig Speed King series: Classic, vintage hardware known for durability and smooth action.

  • Direct, responsive pedal feel: Old-school linkage design that feels fast and connected under the foot.

  • Heavy-duty vintage construction: Built in an era of thick tubing and overbuilt parts.

  • Stable hi-hat platform: Holds position well and feels planted during playing.

  • Two available: Great if you’re building out a matching vintage rig or want a spare.

Condition
These stands are vintage and in great shape for their age. Expect some light cosmetic signs of age and use, but overall they present very well and function as they should. All adjustments work, and the pedal action is smooth and solid. These are excellent examples of a classic 1960s design.

Vintage Note
Because these are vintage items, ProCare is not available on these stands.

Old-school hardware like this deserves a great pair of hats and proper felts—this is cool gear at a great price, backed by our meticulous care.
