The Gibraltar Quick Release Hi Hat Drop Clutch from Gibraltar sets the standard for pro-level hi hat cymbal hardware. The Quick Release Hi Hat clutch outperforms the standard clutch in versatility, ease of use and setup time. The quick release mechanism replaces the standard screw-on threaded nut with a spring-loaded lock that slips on and off in less than one second. Just pull down on the collar and it slides off, to reinsert just depress the middle section with your thumb saving you time and making it easy to mount and un-mount hi hat cymbals. The drop clutch action puts your hi-hat in the closed position without holding the pedal down, and then quickly re-engages with a press of the pedal.

The actual mechanism works well. The quick release is great but the drop lever is close to the wing nut so if hit from the right angle, you could accidently loosen the wing nut. The lever could be more sensitive in my opinion. But the reason I dislike this clutch is because the wing nut tightens down on the pull rod and scars it.
