DW hihat drop clutch 

13 year old video, still more detailed than most other videos about this clutch. Thank you for this.

Cool video. Thanks for the info on the Drop Clutch.

Sweet! Been looking around for a simple solution for the double pedal vs. hi hat problem and this is probably the simplest and best one. There's alot of stupid "inventions" out there man... stuff that go on ur feet or long stick things hanging out electric machines and everything...this one is so simple yet gets the job done. :) Have you tried it while playing songs or gigs? Is it as reliable as it seems? :P

Just bought one and your video was extremely useful helping me install it. Thanks!

thanks man! that helped. because i just bought it and i wasn't quite sure how to use it so thanks!

Cheers for making this vid, that's helped me loads!

basically just unscrew your hihat clamp so it's completely loose and let the hats sit together to see how it would sit with your hats. it would still close it as tight as normal when you use the hihat pedal normally though.

Nice !.....to showing installed drop lock hi hat clutch

Thanks for this vid, now I know which one to buy. Lol after i got my double bass pedals for christmas last year I used to have to be playing double bass with my hi hat loosened so it was closed, then if it came to a part of a song with hi hat i would have to pause it, re tighten it and keep going. So annoying!

Thanks for showing how it works. I was thinking about getting one, now I can 'cause know what to do with it! Cheers

Cheers. Got one in the mail yesterday. What’s the Alan key with it for ? Doesn’t seem to fit anything.

Thank you for the review I think I’m going to get one of these

Now I buying it to! Thanks for the vid!

cool video

THANKS!!! I didnt know how to use it!!! :S hahahha thaks a lot!

Thanks for the clip. I'm looking to buy a hi hat clutch. I guess, DW it is.

i hate drum clutches the downside is that if you play too hard with the hats closed the top hat can float up and transfer to open. you'd have to raise the clutch high enough for the top hat not to catch in which case it would sound terrible when you switch to open. convenient yet flawed

Hey mate when you buy it is it only coming with the clutch? or does it come with the hi hat holder and felt etc.

Thanks! That helped alot!

thanks man i got one but figure it out so this helped thanks

The lever makes an extra annoying click. The dw I have squeaks a lot when I ride the ride hat with my foot.

is there a way of regulating the distance between the hi hats or they'll always stay the same way from one to another?

my cymbal keeps spinning is that normal??

good vid thanks

Not a good product. I just returned my DW drop clutch. The catch is not catching and holding on to the cymbal and it at times just closes on its own. The Coady Clutch looks better but the company is most difficult in trying to reach. They do not return calls for what that is worth.

would this work with any hi hat stand and rod? i have an old tama hi hat stand thanks

thank you!

What happens if i push down on the foot peddle, and it stays down?

Does it shut the hi hats tight?

Thanks !

THANKYOU!(:

Bah I just got my hi hat clutch and it doesnt fit because the hook cant go all the way in

Do these fit any hi hats??

Hey man check out the Coady Clutch by Billdidit.

not exactly tite but yeah pretty much it does

you dont need to hit it you can use your fingers

I got a Gibraltar for under £15 ($22ish) and it's fine
