The AXIS PRO (PC) clutch system allows for the integration of AXIS quality and innovation into any hi-hat stand base. Made from lightweight anodized aluminum, the PRO CLUTCH securely locks the upper cymbal in place, while the three-point system without felts used on the top and bottom protects your cymbals and eliminates the need for felts that mute the sound. The PRO CLUTCH is the only clutch that allows independent tilting of the top cymbal, which is essential for any hi-hat with a tilt feature.
