How to lower the upper rod for a HH stand

[Pinsy]

Hey there, guys i really want to screw my upper rod inner abit, but it semms like its stuck?! Or is there, any other way, cause i don't really like it to be so tall. I really want it to be like just the height of my clutch or something.

Thanks all.

You could just grab a hacksaw and cut it off if it really bothers you

Haha thanks all. But is there like a easier method to do it? I see some set up picts, and their upper rod looks so short, and i think the most they just screw it down. But mine seems like stuck? Haha

P.S Jeepers, sorry about not replying your Private Msg previously, because it was sold already, during the period i receive your first PM, then i wanted to reply but, once i press the reply button they said 'Page not found', i called my fren and he said that he did not experience the same thing. Then i'm not too sure about now. Sorry, my apologies...

Huh. More like their hihats are set higher than the rod being short.

Just cut it. saves the trouble in case you break the entire stand and require you to buy a new one.

No. It seems stuck because there's no more threading left for the rod to be screwed in any more.

Cut it.
