Gibraltar SC-4420 Deluxe Hi Hat Clutch
DOCUMENT: RHY-C4420 // CLEARANCE LEVEL: REDACTED
BRIEFING – FOR AUTHORISED PERSONNEL ONLY
Following multiple field failures of substandard hi-hat clutches during prolonged sonic engagement, the Directorate for Percussive Stability has issued approval for the deployment of the Gibraltar SC-4420 Deluxe Hi-Hat Clutch. Codename: "Iron Grip."
Developed in a subterranean lab beneath an abandoned jazz club, the SC-4420 was designed to survive hostile gig environments, rhythmic turbulence, and the psychological wear of 5-hour cover band sets. Initial tests confirm: it holds the top hi-hat cymbal with ruthless precision. No slippage. No chatter. No compromise.
Twin-locking mechanisms provide maximum tension security. Standard threading ensures compatibility with most hi-hat stands in NATO-aligned percussion networks. The upper and lower felts are field-serviceable and replaceable without specialised tools. Deployment time under 30 seconds with trained personnel.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
