Hi-hat drop clutch for double bass drum playing
If you play with a double bass drum pedal, a hi-hat drop clutch is a practical way to free up your left foot. The Tama STDC7 Sizzle Touch Drop Clutch lets the hi-hats drop together when you strike the lever with a stick, so you can keep playing without using the hi-hat pedal.
That makes this Tama drop clutch especially useful for drummers who want to switch quickly between hi-hat control and double bass drum work during a performance. At Magna Music you can also get personal advice from musicians who know how this kind of hardware works in real playing situations.
Tama STDC7 with adjustable half-open hi-hat sound
When the Tama STDC7 Sizzle Touch Drop Clutch is closed and holds the cymbals together, you can set the distance between them. This allows you to dial in the exact half-open hi-hat sound that works best for your playing.
When you want to return to normal playing, simply press the hi-hat stand pedal. After that, you use the hi-hats again in the regular familiar way together with the clutch.
