SUCH a low key flex making those adjustments while maintaining that beat flawlessly lol love those hats dude.
If that's a flex I'll take it although I suck at flex's....HA HA HA.
Killer snare drum sound you got going on. The clutch is cool too.
Thanks man, I miss that room at times.
This drum kit sounds KILLER!
It’s a freaking killer kit.
LOVE the sound on that snare!
It's just awesome isn't it.
Great drum and your tuning is spot on which makes it sound so good.
I AM DRUMMER You’ve got sick time!!
@@IAMDRUMMER It is killer! Maybe do a vid on the Black Iron?
Love those hats
They are simply delicious.
Just bought one .... it's fantastic and very light ! Great suggestion.
Quality video, mate. Cheers
Thanks brother, always appreciate your feedback.
I'm a true DW gear freak (my kit is a custom made Collectors, all my hardware is 9000 and I love them) but when it comes to new design ideas, hands down Pearl and Tama are killin' it! I have the One touch clutch but the new Pearl clutch is waaaaaay better.
Love your reviews man, keep it up 👌
Glad you like them!
So no drummer can mix JB weld then with Q tip dap 4 dabs and glue the felt to the washer and nut so no more lost felts
What I love about DW is I never lose an of the felts.
I've tried that DW clutch for a while, but I found that the Tama QHC7 Quick-Set Hi-Hat Clutch is superior. Actually, so is the Pearl HCL205QR Rapid Lock Super Grip Clutch.
The Remo/Gibraltar is even Quicker.
Love mine.
@@musiqsoundsproductions I have the Remo too. It's great.
Thanks - very helpful overview.
Anytime, hope I helped a little.
Can't you just use foot pressure to do the same thing? Maybe I'll get flamed for not knowing enough, but I'm not looking for that. Just tell me why this is better than foot pressure? It isn't a double bass pedal where I can't have my left foot on the hats. I'm honestly curious. Please help me learn why this helps.
Are you asking why you can just add or decrease foot pressure, one of the main reasons for using a clutch like this is to change the amount of tension on the top cymbal on the fly. The loser it is the more the top cymbal will move adding more wash and air movement between the hats.
great video, please tell me what kind of DW snare drum is at the beginning of the video?
Thank you, that snare is a the original DW collectors 14x5 bell brass (bronze actually).
@@IAMDRUMMER thank you!!!
Great job! I may have to steal this topic, because I use the Remo clutch with the bottom locking piece it’s a nice clutch too. But the DW is cool! Thanks!
Steal away, it's one of the most overlooked piece of gear that every drummer owns.
K. So we're all here to see a product demonstration but I am a quarter of the way through the video being explained to, why I'm here watching the video. Get on with it already.
Sorry to disappoint Macgyver can’t please everybody.
Nice. I just received my 3000, almost the same clutch. On mine the bottom price doesn’t stay and the whole isn’t big enough for the rod to go through!!!
The hole isn't big enough, have you contacted the store or DW about the issue?
@@IAMDRUMMER No, lol. Day off Monday so that’s 1st on my list. Haven’t had time to practice other than a pad. I’m very happy with my new hat stand!!!!
After more thought... I'm still learning, I still don't get how it helps to have something like this. You have to take a hand off a stick, reach up and twist the nut, then you get a different tightness on the hats. Again, why can't foot pressure do this? Foot pressure is what I do, but if there is another option, I'm all ears to suggestions. Again, I'm just curious and want to learn more.
You still need to take a hand off the stick so to speak to adjust any clutch but this one is a lot easier to do and control.
It has nothing to do with how tightly the two cymbals are held together. It's about how much space there is between the felts that hold the top cymbal. If the top cymbal is too loose in the clutch, there's a tactile click when you close/open it with your foot, caused by the delay between the top cymbal contacting the bottom cymbal, and the top felt pushing the top cymbal down tightly (backwards for open). If the top cymbal is too tight in the clutch, the cymbal is unable to move, which may affect the sound of the hi-hat in an undesirable way. In either scenario, foot pressure is useless to alleviate the problem. The first problem is most common, because the two nuts used to adjust how tightly the top cymbal is held can loosen over time. You don't really notice they're loose until you feel the click I described, and it can be very annoying to have to finish a song while the hi-hat is clicking like that. The second problem only happens because someone else messed with your clutch setting.
Which hats are those exactly they’re super cool sounding
The kick is a 22x20 maple olive ash burl over exotic lacquer and the snare is the black iron.
Do some clutches have anything to protect your top hi hat because the one I have has metal to metal contact with my top hi hat.
This one has a little rubber sleeve that helps prevent key holing, I feel your pain though.
total pain in the ass! especially if you've got arthritis in the hands. It keeps on locking up both top and bottom screws. I never had. any issues with the old clutch. I'm returning it, not fit for purpose. As someone down below said, over engineered.
Sounds like most clutches could give you some form of issues if you have arthritis in the hands, it can be a real pain in the ass. Can you tell me how it's locking up at the top and bottom of the clutch?
Had the same issue with mine, it's so difficult to do anything with it. Once I managed to get the bottom screw off, I could not put it back on, and I can't to this day. In short unusable
That pocket!!
This comment wins the internet.
Thanks man.
I have the Tama sizzle drop clutch.
Nice!
looks like its along the same lines as the gibralter quick release clutch , think the dw is abit more over engineered though , i have used the gibralter quick release clutch ever since it came out and never had problem with the 2 top nuts and the quick release hase never released ever during playing and is super fast for pack up at end of the night
I really one to try this clutch.... Do you know if it will fit on a Gibraltar stand? Thanks
Did it fit?
Even I would like to know if it did.
Once it’s locked in, it’s locked in
Ok, how do you unlock it?
Turn it to loosen……and turn it to tighten.
@@IAMDRUMMER I found out why I couldn’t get it
There was debris in the threads
Take the o-ring off, remove the pins, clean the threads
Is it a heavy clutch ?
Not overlay, pretty well balanced.
Gibraltar nice
Ummmmm....hmmmmm.
Save some money and buy the Remo clutch.
Haven't tried the REMO but this thing is pretty sweet, have you tried it?
Lol! Who the hell does this?
BIG BAZZA How do you mean?
Looks like it weighs half a stone.
You should go and try one, very very light.
Lordy, just get on with it...
I did eventually.
I AM DRUMMER I'm sorry man, I didn't mean to be a fuck like that. I just had an attitude and I can see obviously that you put effort into your videos. Please excuse me man.
No stress brother I know I waffle on a bit and get carried away talking to myself on camera :)
Always need feedback, keeps the channel improving.
+I AM DRUMMER the solution is common sense and simple and not enough people do it. Write down what you want to say and stick to it! Don’t wing it and waste your audience’s time. Too many people do it and it’s really frustrating and it probably costs subscribers. What happened to being a professional. Concision. Learn it. Love it. Be awesome.
dont show us how to put it together or anything thanks
It’s a hi hat clutch, just like any other clutch you remove the bottom place the clutch on the cymbal the replace the threaded bottom.
Wasn’t aware this would needed a tutorial.
