Gibraltar SC-QRHHC Quick Hi-Hat Clutch

This Hi-Hat clutch is the best solution for any drummer out there!

What really sells this product is the quick release system because personally, and I'm sure many other drummers have experienced this, it can become rather tedious twisting your hi-hat clutch off every time you need to take your cymbals off. This system makes it so much easier as you just have to pull it off and push it back on! This reduces the time taken greatly and the system doesn't affect the ability to tighten your hi-hat. Additionally, the new clamping system (pulling the hi-hat rod rather than pushing it to tighten) means your hi-hat never comes undone. The overall quality is excellent and I'm sure it will last me for a very long time!

A strong recommend for an easy yet reliable system for your hi-hat!

Really good design, making setting up and breaking down of hihat cymbals ultra quick and easy. Clutch uses a push-pull locking mechanism, operable by hand (no tools required, not even a drum key), to drop out the bottom of the clutch from underneath the top cymbal. Fitting the clutch is even easier and takes seconds.

I've only marked it 4 stars for quality as overall the clutch doesn't have the more refined and higher quality look of Pearl and DW clutches I own. I also wonder how long the quick release mechanism will last if the clutch is being fitted and removed many, many times. Only time will tell. On the positive side, the price is reasonable and won't break the bank if need arises to replace it in the future.

Overall, I can highly recommend this for giiging drummers and those who are setting up and breaking down their hi hats on a regular basis.

I have tried two different quick release clutches, one from Tama and this one from Gibraltar. I like this one much better, it is better built and handles easier and it isn't all plastic like Tama's. It also feels like it will last a lifetime, you only need to change the felts I guess.

You just push the button on this one to release it, that's it, once mounted it holds in place, not like your regular clutch that can loosen overtime.

So to summarize if I loose it by accident I am definitely buying it again. Recommend it with confidence. If you are looking for quick release clutch look no more.
