HHOT Hat Blog

Awww – it’s a mini-me hi-hat piggybacking on the main hi-hat.  In truth, Gibraltar’s expanded line of Hi-Hat Off Time accessories are more than just cute, including everything drummers need to either achieve that secondary sound effect or embellish their backbeats.  The advantage of this apparatus is that it conveniently clamps to your hi-hat stand to save you space, expense, and headache when loading gear or breaking down your setup.  If you’re already hip to the company’s off-time attachment, add the Chik Effects Package for even more of that sumpin’-sumpin’ found in the ear-catchingest rhythms.  Hi-Hat Off Time attachment (only): $92.50; Chik Effects Pack (pair): $30; Hi-Hat Off Time attachment with Chik Effects Pack: $115.

Last year’s Hi-Hat Off Time (HHOT) attachment has been upgraded.  It’s now available complete with the Chik Effects Pack chromed steel hi-hat “cymbals” that can be set to work in opposition to the cymbals on the regular hi-hat for rhythmic effects…”

Congratulations HHOT Hat!
