Patent ID: 10643589

Abstract:
An instrument modeled after a hi hat hi-hat consisting of wood, metal (or other material) and linked material, creating a complex sound effect when closed together, and an “808” (i.e. Roland “808” or similar) snare drum sound when struck with drumstick is disclosed. This invention allows drummers to create complex sounds using the hi-hat pedal (or other mounting device), to lower the Top Hi-hat toward the Bottom Hi-hat and cause the linked material to connect with the “bottom hi-hat.” The claimed device also replaces the standard electronic pad (such as but not limited to the Roland SPDS sampler pad) that recreated the famous “808” (i.e. Roland “808” or similar) handclap sound. Variations of the invention is meant to be used either alongside the traditional metal hi-hat or in lieu of the traditional metal hi-hat.
