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.
I taught myself hown to play drums when i was a kid. I'm 22 and have a lot of gaps of knowledge for stuff like this. This goddamn hihat issue has been messing with me for years lmao. Thanks for the tip.
I taught myself when I was a teen ager also, although i'm now in my 50s & STILL learn little things from time to time. When we stop learning is when we should be concerned....
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
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.
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
not really. People beginning usually have a hard time with this (i've seen many, believe me). So it's not bad to give this kind of info for those people that are not precisely proffesionals. It's nice to have info related to every drum level.
Im 11 and I just got new retch cymbals and idk how to take the hinhat part off the part that lets the top hat onto the stick and attach on top of the bottom hi hat coukd you help?
I appreciate this video thank you ! When you don't own a full acoustic kit or any real breakables details like this get missed I got an electric kit a couple of years ago started gigging this year and just yesterday finally ordered a pearl midtown acoustic kit so this video will come in very handy! ❤️❤️❤️
My hihat just sorta sticks and I’m wondering how to fix it. Is it like a spring issue? Even when no cymbals are on it, you sort of have to pull the rod up.
Could be the vibrations! Try loosening the one above the top HH so you can tighten the one under the HH all the way before tightening the top one again and see if that helps!
One of our high school kits has this, i'll try it out because it's really annoying. Do you have tips on how to fix a beater that's making weird noises as if something is loose?
So many backseat drummers acting like veterans are the only ones. SMH. Every time I see the toxic drumming community like this it makes me lose joy for the instrument. Grow up guys.
Dude that's not right. There's a top nut for setting the the tightness. And if you get that symbol too tight you're going to crack it right at the hole.
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.
wild thought, maybe some people only just started drumming, the type of place where everyone starts off at, and they're somehow magically unfamiliar with an instrument they haven't played before.

Did that sleeve come with that clutch or did you just put your own sleeve on the existing clutch?
This was the clutch that came with my Speed Cobra hi hat stand

What? This video helped me a lot and I did it in under like a minute, thank you for the video

Man I’ve been playing for thirteen years and never knew it was such an easy fix. This just happened again and you saved me hours of frustration
I did not know this at all thank you bob
Very rhythmic and dynamic, I liked it
In a follow up episode he showed us how water is actually wet.
Have you ever had a car that wouldn't start???? Put the key in and turn... You owe me a minute of my life back....
Felt just as you. You have to understand your instrument at la minimum level....not knowing this is below wtf??

@@le_boucher fr.
Even beginners know this
When I was first starting out I didn't even know how to assemble a clutch so this IS actually good advice for beginners
@@overindulgence6168 yeah OP is such a know-it-all loser
Im 11 and I just got new retch cymbals and idk how to take the hinhat part off the part that lets the top hat onto the stick and attach on top of the bottom hi hat coukd you help?
Fixed them now tho :D
Thanks. I must have bought at least 35 high hat stand because I couldn't find the issue.

How do you not know this? I learned this the very first time I assembled my hi-hat
THIS POPPED UP RIGHT WHEN I NEEDED IT THANK YOU
No way people don't know how to do this
New drummers???!!!
New drummers exist
This man's a diamond 💎
They also sell a few clutches with a drum key screw on the bottom that lock.
Personally I keep my top cymbal just a tad bit loose to get a better sound
Thanks you so much❤❤
Thank you!
Oh my god this makes my skin crawl 😂
Thank you so much ❤🥁🥁🥁🥁

Thanks Einstein
Mine is falling off again even though I tighted it really hard😥💫

I mean bass drum pedal
Remo quick clutch will get rid of that
How do you stop the bottom and top hi hat from being uneven? Like where one side of the top hit the bottom before the other side of it.
@@joshchristopher679 I realized that almost every drummer I’ve seen has theirs like that, so I fixed mine a little better and it sounds nice.
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 bottoms screw keeps undoing
Cor I never knew this, tell me another 1 😂😂😂
thank you so muchhhhh
My hi-hat won’t close all the way what should I do then
There's a really quick and easy fix for this: Buy a Meinl hi-hat.
Just kidding nice video
Make sure the cymbal doesn't touch the thread of the rod!
Make a video about how to take care of itchy butt from sitting too much on the throne.
The bottom of my hi hat hardware is going up with the hi hat and this won’t work any tips
😂 Bro I have never once had that Oh my fucking god Who in their right mind
So, the fix is to attach the clutch as designed? 😮
I know that already😅

If you have a customs and dont know this ask your rich dad to buy lessons lolz
Perfak ❤ 😊
I dont know why im watching this, im an edrummer😂
Is this where we've ended, having absolutely no basic knowledge of what we're using?
If you don’t know this you seriously need to experiment with and study your instrument more.
Of course it’s not going to listen to you. It’s a fish That’s a weird looking hi hat though lol
if you couldn't figure this out on your own.... you shouldn't be a drummer
You made this video to get a reaction out of people? Literally the most unnecessary video.
No duh....
Bruh
Nice, make a video for how to turn my a/c on in my car.
IMF!! Who would of known 🙄
No felts??? Okay, crack your cymbals i dont care
You clearly care
I have a felt underneath and this clutch I'm using doesn't require a felt on the top, since it's soft rubber. No cracked cymbals here!
Common sense if you're a drummer no?
If you own a hi-hat stand and you don't know how to fix that you need to sell it or give it away
wild thought, maybe some people only just started drumming, the type of place where everyone starts off at, and they're somehow magically unfamiliar with an instrument they haven't played before.
I can't imagine being as bitter as you
