Here’s what Pearl say about the HCL-205QR Rapid Lock Supergrip Hi-Hat Clutch:

The Pearl HCL-205QR Rapid Lock Supergrip Hi-Hat Clutch is a high-quality hi-hat clutch from Pearl, featuring durable felt washers and a rapid lock/release fastener for quick and easy cymbal changing. The HCL-205QR is very similar to the HCL-105QR clutch but features a built-in clamp for enhanced stability.

The spring-loaded dual fastening system allows you to disengage the rapid lock from the main clutch with ease, resulting in smooth, easy breakdown and setup of the top hi-hat. The felt washers minimise interference with the cymbals themselves, ensuring you get the same great sound without the inconvenience of losing your hi-hats. Ideal for players who demand reliable and consistent hi-hat performance throughout their sessions, the Pearl HCL-205QR Rapid Lock Supergrip Hi-Hat Clutch is the perfect upgrade from any default hi-hat clutch.

Specifications:

  • Spring-loaded dual fastening system
  • Durable felt washers
  • Rapid lock/release fastener
  • Built-in clamp for enhanced stability
