Today, I finished stabilizing the suitcase kick from inside, so I can add a ride cymbal and not knock the whole thing over.
I bolted in a plumbing fixture I found for fifty cents at the ReBuild It store, turning it into a stop for an extended cymbal arm. I extended the arm using a cut-down drum stick so it would reach the stabilizer, and make the cymbal arm rigid inside the suitcase.
I’m cleaning up a cheap ride cymbal to practice with, which I’ll swap in where the placeholder splash cymbal currently is. The last thing I want to try is a very small clamp-on cymbal arm to attach to the hi-hat stand, which will either be a 13” thin crash or the splash cymbal I already have.
