Gibraltar SC-QRHHC Quick Release Hi-Hat Clutch (GI853020)
Safe and secure checkout
The Gibraltar SC-QRHHC is one of those small drum hardware upgrades that makes setting up and packing down noticeably easier. Instead of threading the clutch on and off every time you remove your top hi-hat cymbal, the quick-release design lets you attach and remove the cymbal much faster.
It is designed for hi-hat rods with a 7mm diameter and uses Gibraltar’s Super Grip mechanism to hold securely while helping to avoid scratches on the rod. For gigging drummers, rehearsal rooms, schools or anyone who regularly sets up and breaks down their kit, it is a very useful upgrade over a basic clutch.
Why Use a Quick Release Hi-Hat Clutch?
A standard hi-hat clutch works fine, but it can be fiddly when you are taking cymbals on and off regularly. The Gibraltar SC-QRHHC speeds up that process by removing the need to keep threading the mount by hand.
That is especially useful if you:
- Pack down your kit after every rehearsal or gig
- Share a rehearsal space or studio kit
- Need quick cymbal changes
- Want a more practical clutch for regular gigging
- Prefer hardware that is simple, secure and easy to use
It is not the most exciting-looking piece of drum hardware, but it is one of those parts you quickly appreciate once it is on the stand.
Secure Fit Without the Fuss
The SC-QRHHC is built to hold your top hi-hat cymbal securely while making cymbal removal much quicker. The Super Grip mechanism helps prevent scratches on the hi-hat rod, which is a nice touch if you care about keeping your stand hardware in good condition.
It fits most professional hi-hat stands with a 7mm rod, making it a practical replacement or upgrade clutch for many standard drum kit setups.
