DW SM9214 Hi-Hat Clutch with 8 mm Closed Hi-Hat Adapter
The SM9214 combines the brand's 9213 lever hi-hat clutch with an 8 mm threaded closed hi-hat adapter. Together they give you an instant open or closed hi-hat, with no extra hi-hat stand or pedal.
What sets it apart
- Closed hi-hat adapter with 8 mm thread
- 9213 lever hi-hat clutch included in the set
- Instant open or closed hi-hat, according to the manufacturer
- No extra hi-hat stand or pedal
- Patented mechanism, US patent 8 569 604
Adding a hi-hat without adding a stand
A second hi-hat usually costs a lot of space: one more stand on the floor, sometimes a remote pedal, and the whole layout to rethink. On a small stage the question is settled in advance: there is no room.
This set takes a different approach. Its adapter threads onto an 8 mm thread already present on your setup, and that anchor point becomes a closed hi-hat. The floor footprint does not change by a single centimetre.
A closed hi-hat that stays adjustable
A fixed auxiliary hi-hat tends to have one sound, and that gets old fast. The lever clutch included in the set lets you vary the pressure between the two cymbals without a key, so you can go from a dry chick to a sizzle depending on the section.
That is what separates a one-off gadget from something you actually use: it responds differently depending on what you ask of it, instead of coming out once a night.
