Hey Crew,
Anyone experienced in using a Drop Clutch, and which one to buy? As you probably all know by now, I'm completely addicted to using double bass pedals, and think I might be best off with a drop clutch on the hi-hat.
My current hi-hat rig is a classic mid-40's Ludwig, which (at current height setting) only has about 1-1/4" of rod above the top cymbal. Is that enough for a drop clutch, or will I need to buy or fabricate a longer one to accept a drop clutch setup? I can't lower the cymbal height, as it's it's only about 3" from the top of my snare, and is still pretty close at that height to interfering with my snare/hi-hat minimum heights.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Cheers,
C. P.
