Instant Release. Locked Control. Designed for Double Kick Drummers.

The Pearl HCL-205DQR (H) is a Rapid Lock drop clutch designed to meet the demands of double bass players and fast-paced live setups. A single stick hit instantly drops the top hi-hat cymbal into a closed position, allowing you to move between open and closed sounds without using your foot — perfect when both feet are on the kick pedals.

What sets this clutch apart is Pearl’s Rapid Lock quick-release mechanism, which enables ultra-fast cymbal changes without needing to fully unscrew the clutch. Built tough for touring drummers, the HCL-205DQR (H) combines speed, security, and Pearl’s rock-solid engineering into one streamlined accessory.
