Find Your Perfect "Sloshy" Sound

Not all drummers want the same closed hi-hat sound. The Drop-Lock Clutch's fully adjustable mechanism lets you dial in just the right amount of "sloshyness" for your needs. Loosen the clutch for a loose, sloshy chick or tighten it for a tight, cutting sound. Once you've found your perfect setting, the Drop-Lock Clutch locks it in place so you get the exact same hi-hat tone every time you play.
