The second piece (2015.14.13b) is the narrow metal pole which connects the clutch to the foot pedal. It is threaded at one end. The cymbal rest (2015.14.13c) is a hollow metal tube with a black plastic ring and section of felt at the top. There is also a clamp at the mid point. The foot pedal (2015.14.13d) is the base of the hi-hat stand. It is a collapsable tripod with black rubber foot caps. There is a foot-shaped metal pedal with rubber insets which is attached via chain drive to the shaft. The foot is marked with the [MAPEX] logo in black rubber. The feet are adjustable and there is a screw at the top to lock the other attachments in place.
