  • Publication number: 20110167985
    Abstract: The present invention provides a multiple, in particular two-fold, releasable clutch (5), which can be closed via an intermediate position without a drummer having to use a foot. The clutch (5) is connected with at least an upper cymbal and further is formed with at least a first lever (1) and a second lever (2). A releasing of the first lever (1) causes a falling of the clutch (5) into an intermediate position, in which the upper cymbal (9) and a lower cymbal (10) are arranged in a half-closed position. By actuating the second lever (2), the clutch (5) can be arranged in an end position, wherein in the end position the upper cymbal (9) and the lower cymbal (10) are in a closed state.
