I often see drummers having the same issue with their hi hats, they become unresponsive which makes them a nightmare to play. It's really easy to fix once you know how!

To all the negative comments (which there are a lot?!) I do use cymbal felts. This particular hi hat clutch doesn't have a felt on the top, it uses a soft rubber instead. But most important is that there is a sleeve between the cymbal and the thread of the clutch, which there is. If you don't have this you will end up key holing your cymbals. Not everyone knows how to quickly fix this issue. If you do great, skip the video but I made this to help people who might not know how to fix a problem they're having. Show some compassion to new/young drummers! The drum community has always been a really friendly and helpful place lets keep that going! ❤️

Hey man, great video for the beginners just getting started, really admire the effort being put in here. That being said, I have a very particular set of skills, and if I EVER see your high hat in this condition again, I WILL find you, and I will flip your top half upside down, screw it so tight you gotta loosen it from the other side and then flip it back over and do Paradiddles with the stiffest 5Bs I can find. Have a nice day.

Did that sleeve come with that clutch or did you just put your own sleeve on the existing clutch?

You know for those who just started playing and needed this video I'm glad it exists. When I started over 21 years ago I didn't have this help I had to figure it out on my own and glad there is something on the Internet that is basic enough to help anyone who wants to learn.

Had this problem like a year ago, and it wasn’t that the screw was too loose, it was that the felt on the bottom was mangled beyond comprehension 💀 So check your felts people

Listen, if u need a quick fix because all the things are 'broken': you can add some gaskets or filters between the bottom stock filter (that should be already there..) and the bottom mechanics to fill the gap necessary to play well

Underneath the bottom hi hat you should find a small screw that will apply pressure to one side of the bottom hi hat which adjusts the angle!

That's right there is a top nut for setting tightness. However before you do that you need the bottom one to be fully tightened. Then you set the tightness you'd like from the top one.
