Tama STDC7 Sizzle Touch Drop Clutch
Tama STDC7 Sizzle Touch Drop Clutch Reviews
When you want to drop into double-kick pedal mode on your bass drums but don't want that sloshy hi-hat reaction, the TAMA Sizzle Touch drop clutch is a must-have. This intelligently designed, easy-to-use clutch lets you instantly close your hats by tapping the clutch lever with your stick and pushing down on your hi-hat pedal to securely close the cymbals. Switching back to single-pedal play is just as easy: just press down on the hi-hat pedal until the clutch clicks back into standard "clutch" mode. The Sizzle Touch also lets players adjust the gap between the bottom and top cymbals while they are in "dropped" mode — get that tight "chick" or a wide-open thrash or a more subtle "sizzle"! Drummers here at Sweetwater absolutely love the Sizzle Touch.

It works great and glad I got this.
More Than I Hoped for!
This quick clutch rocks big time. It's extremely easy to dial-in.I have it set for short decayed sizzle when I drop it for double bass parts.It does away with any need for a secondary Hat. A really nice addition to my tool set!
Another Great Tama Product
No one makes hardware as well as Tama. Clutch works great. Still working on getting solid hits to drop the clutch but that's me acquiring some skill, not Tama's design. Highest recommendation!
Great Drop Clutch
Exactly what I was looking for.
Jason's Gear Review
This is a true TAMA product and I like it. Smooth action and does exactly what I need it to do.
Impressive Clutch
I got this because I like the regular Tama quick-release clutch, and I am starting to learn and use a double pedal. I like that I can adjust the cymbal splashiness when the clutch is in the dropped position.
I am surprised that I can only have the cymbals spaced so far apart in the locked position before the space is too far in the dropped position (making the cymbals too washy). I am used to a single pedal and having my hats spaced wider than many players. I like big hi-hat scoops.
That said, I am a complete beginner with double bass, and I am not qualified to mark this product down.
Amazing Drop Clutch
Not a whole lot to say other than it's amazing to be able to dial in the perfect amount of sizzle on your hats while playing double kick.
WHO SAY'S THAT YOU CAN'T REINVENT THE WHEEL ?
I have had the opportunity to use the TAMA Sizzle Drop Clutch for a few months now. This is one of the better inventions to playing the Hi-Hat that i have personally used . Play your hats open , foot chick , foot down tight or trip the release lever and get that " Sloshy " sound , while playing double pedals ( set perfectly open or close together by the adjustment wheels ) .Try it you wont be disappointed ! The only reason I will not give a 100% to any product is the plastic pieces will wear.
Great Adjustability and overall improvement
Ability to finely adjust the distance of the drop is super convenient, and sounds great. The product itself was a great upgrade from my beginner Ludwig kit hi-hat clutch.
Splashy
I love it! I can set it to any level of splashyness I want and it stays there until I change it: from fully open to a slightly loose chick. Tama is still the Strongest Name in Drums" & hardware that I've found. That why I always buy Tama.
Drop Clutch
This clutch has taken me to a new level of playing. Sweetwater you guys are so helpful. Thank you.
Incredible Fun!
Back in the day, before drop clutches, we used to just lock the top hat at sizzle height. It worked but ultimately we kept locking it back and forth for different things. Clutches then eliminated the fiddling but it wasn't much better to be honest. This thing changes everything. Don't even waste your money on a non-adjustable clutch, get this one. It's useful for single bass as well. Everyone should have one.
Excellent clutch!
I use this clutch all the time now, even when I don't use a double pedal, my high hats just sound better with this clutch. This thing is far superior to any other drop clutch I've ever used, it's a little complicated, but it's worth it once you figure out how to adjust it.
Pretty great
I love this clutch. Very solid. The mechanism is much more dependable and adjustable than others I've used.
Great product
Bought this put on my hi hat works great gonna get another one to go with my other kit.
Just What I Needed!
I had been waiting for Tama to bring this out for quite some time. As an occasional double bass drum pedal user, having my hi-hats set at a crunch level as to not kill said cymbals was always the trade off I had to make instead of having the option to open and close them. I play sizzle riffs on my hi-hats on a lot of songs as well, so this was the perfect addition to add.
JUST WHAT I NEEDED
This bad larry did the trick; customizing the openness of my hi hat when I drop the clutch for the double pedals of doom? BOSS
