With its Patented (US.Pat. 9355625) quick pinch-and-release function, the Pearl Rapid Lock hi-hat clutch is the fast set-up/tear-down solution every gigging drummer has been waiting for. Easily pinch both sides of the bottom locking nut to release and place top hi-hat cymbals and adjust cymbal feel with the locking top adjustment nut.
