Members Fluke Posted August 13, 2012 Members Share Posted August 13, 2012 Whoa, did anyone watch the Olympics closing.... Nick Mason had a weird hi hat, looked like it had a second fully functional pedal-operated mechanism on top of the regular one. Roger Taylor's kit looked pretty weird too.... then there was The Who drummer's acrylic kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fluke Posted August 15, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 15, 2012 So there it is... but no clue who made it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FitchFY Posted August 15, 2012 Members Share Posted August 15, 2012 So there it is... but no clue who made it? Ah, it's just a pair of mini-hats with a second mounted clamp. I'm pretty sure I've seen Gibraltar and DW offer them, and a net perusal would likely land you a few companies that offer them in varying ways.

Members rayboomboom Posted August 15, 2012 Members Share Posted August 15, 2012 Actually looks like they might not open. You would need to shafts to make that work. At least from what I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SYMBOLIC Posted August 16, 2012 Members Share Posted August 16, 2012 My guess judging by the picture is that the bottom hats don't open, and the top cymbal of the top hats do open, as they have a clutch. The bottom cymbal of the top hats are supported by a modified cymbal stacker thing that is attached to the top cymbal of the bottom hats. The modified cymbal stacker would allow the pull rod to pass through the stacker and open the top hat. Just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FitchFY Posted August 17, 2012 Members Share Posted August 17, 2012 He had a great interview in Modern Drummer a few months back, and he's very quick to know his position in Pink Floyd's music. Let's face it -- a more busy drummer would have destroyed what they created. He really got into how they went about creating things -- in the studio, they'd add all kinds of stuff and then just strip away ideas until it felt right. Really ahead of their time with the "studio magic" concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
