Fix your hi hats  

To all the negative comments (which there are a lot?!) I do use cymbal felts. This particular hi hat clutch doesn't have a felt on the top, it uses a soft rubber instead. But most important is that there is a sleeve between the cymbal and the thread of the clutch, which there is. If you don't have this you will end up key holing your cymbals. Not everyone knows how to quickly fix this issue. If you do great, skip the video but I made this to help people who might not know how to fix a problem they're having. Show some compassion to new/young drummers! The drum community has always been a really friendly and helpful place lets keep that going! ❤️

I taught myself hown to play drums when i was a kid. I'm 22 and have a lot of gaps of knowledge for stuff like this. This goddamn hihat issue has been messing with me for years lmao. Thanks for the tip.

Have you ever had a car that wouldn't start???? Put the key in and turn... You owe me a minute of my life back....

Had this problem like a year ago, and it wasn’t that the screw was too loose, it was that the felt on the bottom was mangled beyond comprehension 💀 So check your felts people

In a follow up episode he showed us how water is actually wet.

Man I’ve been playing for thirteen years and never knew it was such an easy fix. This just happened again and you saved me hours of frustration

everybody knows this man

No way people don't know how to do this

How do you not know this? I learned this the very first time I assembled my hi-hat

I did not know this at all thank you bob

You know for those who just started playing and needed this video I'm glad it exists. When I started over 21 years ago I didn't have this help I had to figure it out on my own and glad there is something on the Internet that is basic enough to help anyone who wants to learn.

Im 11 and I just got new retch cymbals and idk how to take the hinhat part off the part that lets the top hat onto the stick and attach on top of the bottom hi hat coukd you help?

Very rhythmic and dynamic, I liked it

Oh my god this makes my skin crawl 😂

Good tip for beginners still learning the mechanics of hardware behind the kit

Listen, if u need a quick fix because all the things are 'broken': you can add some gaskets or filters between the bottom stock filter (that should be already there..) and the bottom mechanics to fill the gap necessary to play well

So many backseat drummers acting like veterans are the only ones. SMH. Every time I see the toxic drumming community like this it makes me lose joy for the instrument. Grow up guys.

My hihat just sorta sticks and I’m wondering how to fix it. Is it like a spring issue? Even when no cymbals are on it, you sort of have to pull the rod up.

Thanks so much i felt stupid for 10 minutes before this internet is a wonderful thing

That bottoms screw keeps undoing

If you need a video to help with this, then, really there's just no hope for you, either as a drummer, or just a person in general.

😂 Bro I have never once had that Oh my fucking god Who in their right mind

Thanks. I must have bought at least 35 high hat stand because I couldn't find the issue.

Personally I keep my top cymbal just a tad bit loose to get a better sound

I did taht with no knowledge to a random gospel drum kit, the top hat had a extreme gap so i removed it, then did what you did, and i just found this out today.

You made this video to get a reaction out of people? Literally the most unnecessary video.

If you don’t know this you seriously need to experiment with and study your instrument more.

So, the fix is to attach the clutch as designed? 😮

If you have a customs and dont know this ask your rich dad to buy lessons lolz

Make a video about how to take care of itchy butt from sitting too much on the throne.

Thanks my hihat wasnt working well

One of our high school kits has this, i'll try it out because it's really annoying. Do you have tips on how to fix a beater that's making weird noises as if something is loose?

Remo quick clutch will get rid of that

Cor I never knew this, tell me another 1 😂😂😂

My hi-hat won’t close all the way what should I do then

if you are a guitarist this might help

Dude that's not right. There's a top nut for setting the the tightness. And if you get that symbol too tight you're going to crack it right at the hole.

I know that already😅

Thanks Einstein

Mine is falling off again even though I tighted it really hard😥💫

No duh....

Thanks you so much❤❤

After watching a million videos on fixing hi hats, I finally found one that worked!! Thanx!

Bruh

Is this where we've ended, having absolutely no basic knowledge of what we're using?

How do you stop the bottom and top hi hat from being uneven? Like where one side of the top hit the bottom before the other side of it.

They also sell a few clutches with a drum key screw on the bottom that lock.

I appreciate this video thank you ! When you don't own a full acoustic kit or any real breakables details like this get missed I got an electric kit a couple of years ago started gigging this year and just yesterday finally ordered a pearl midtown acoustic kit so this video will come in very handy! ❤️❤️❤️

I dont know why im watching this, im an edrummer😂

This man's a diamond 💎

Make sure the cymbal doesn't touch the thread of the rod!

Thank you!

Of course it’s not going to listen to you. It’s a fish That’s a weird looking hi hat though lol

if you couldn't figure this out on your own.... you shouldn't be a drummer

The bottom of my hi hat hardware is going up with the hi hat and this won’t work any tips

THIS POPPED UP RIGHT WHEN I NEEDED IT THANK YOU

Thank you so much ❤🥁🥁🥁🥁

Perfak ❤ 😊

thank you so muchhhhh

No felts??? Okay, crack your cymbals i dont care

Common sense if you're a drummer no?

IMF!! Who would of known 🙄

Nice, make a video for how to turn my a/c on in my car.

If you own a hi-hat stand and you don't know how to fix that you need to sell it or give it away
