    I guess what I'm really looking to figure out is . . . can I use a locking clutch for a normal hi hat on a Yamaha RHH135?

    (I've already programmed a "closed hi hat" sound when it's open, so I can simulate it through the module and play double bass - but I'd like to be able to physically lock down the pedal regardless what drumset profile I've got set on the module).

    I use the hh135 and I believe that you would be able to use normal clutch but the one that comes with it has a little pin off to the side to keep the HH from rotating. when not clamped down. also the hh135 comes with a base plate that gives a surface for the bottom of the hat to come down on to "close" the hats. if you dont have that base plate you might have to simulate it somehow to make your open/close and hat splashes work correctly. the base is 3.5 inches in diameter if you have to try and recreate it.
