Product Overview
Overview
Maintain the integrity of your cymbals with these professional-grade Hi-hat Clutch Felts from Gibraltar. Designed specifically to provide a secure yet cushioned interface, these felts protect your top hi-hat cymbal from direct metal-on-metal contact with the clutch mechanism.
By absorbing vibrations and preventing friction, these felts help reduce the risk of keyholing and premature wear, ensuring your hi-hats retain their resonance and longevity over time.
What Stands Out
Key Details
- Protective Cushioning: High-density felt material prevents the clutch from damaging the cymbal bell.
- Multi-Pack Value: Supplied as a 4 Pack, providing ample replacements for multiple kits or long-term maintenance.
- Precision Fit: Engineered to standard hi-hat clutch specifications for a snug, stable fit.
- Vibration Dampening: Helps stabilize the top cymbal and smooths out the interaction between the hardware and the bronze.
Best For
Use Cases
- Routine Maintenance: Ideal for drummers who regularly replace worn or compressed felts to maintain optimal cymbal seating.
- Cymbal Protection: Essential for high-volume players or those using heavy-duty clutches who want to prevent “keyholing” in the center hole of the top cymbal.
- Kit Refresh: A quick and affordable way to restore the feel and stability of an older hi-hat stand.
Setup Notes
Installation
Replacing your hi-hat felts is a straightforward process that requires no specialized tools:
- Step 1: Loosen the top hi-hat clutch and remove the top cymbal.
- Step 2: Slide off the old, worn felt washers from the clutch shaft.
- Step 3: Slide the new Gibraltar felts onto the shaft in the desired order.
- Step 4: Re-seat the top cymbal and tighten the clutch to your preferred tension.
