latzanimal, I'm glad you post that,I don't own one, don't play the type of music to have the need for it, aweful expensive equipment to just experiment with! good luck with it though john!

Alrighty, found it...

V2, I have 2 on my main kit for a couple of reasons. 1) I like to center my rack toms over 2 kick drums. this pushes the hihat cymbals out a bit. In order to keep my pedals together, I went with a cable hat. When Pat Torpey was with Mr. Big in the early 90's, I found out he was doing the same thing. Good to know. 2) With 2 kicks, I wanted a second hihat mostly for closed purposes. When adding to the kit tho, I thought why not make it a remote and keep my options open. The second hats allow my chest to open up when singing.

I have also used a remote hat with other kits and played 16ths between the 2 keeping an open body....

Man that's really cool and it make total sense!!

I have to say I didn't spend a lot of time with it, but it did feel good and was quick. It is not the answer if you are looking to add a hat on the 'other' side of the kit, but if you just want to offset the hats from the pedal, this is a good solution.

The owner/maker said he has been trying to break his for a couple of years with no luck. So they are durable... for him.
