Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The tilt felt is one of the small hardware parts that significantly change the feel of a hi-hat. This type of accessory is part of the regular maintenance of a hi-hat, just like cymbal felts or sleeves, in order to maintain consistent response and stable positioning of the top cymbal.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
This set is intended for all drummers, from beginners to advanced, who want to regain a responsive and comfortable hi-hat. It is particularly useful in rock, pop, funk, jazz, or metal, whenever a defined "chick," a crisp closing, and a slight tilt facilitating dynamic control are sought.
Features and Innovations
These felts are designed to be placed on the hi-hat tilt mechanism (clutch side) to create a slight and stable inclination of the top cymbal. When replaced, they restore more consistent pressure, prevent the cymbal from "sticking," and help reduce unwanted vibrations caused by compressed felts.
Sound
On a hi-hat, the angle and quality of contact between the cymbals directly influence attack and definition. A well-adjusted tilt promotes a more even opening, faster response, and a more controlled sound, especially at low volume. By reducing hard contacts and irregular friction, these felts also help achieve a cleaner and more consistent "chick."
Questions frequently asked
Where are the Tama CL08-13P felts placed on a hi-hat?
Both felts are placed on the hi-hat tilt mechanism, on the clutch side, to support the tilt of the top cymbal.
Do these felts improve the hi-hat chick sound?
Positioned on the tilt, they promote a more consistent contact between the cymbals. The "chick" therefore becomes cleaner and more consistent when closing.
When should the tilt felts of a hi-hat be replaced?
Replacement is recommended when the tilt felts are compressed or cause uneven friction. These components can reduce unwanted vibrations caused by irregular pressure. The top cymbal then regains a stable tilt.
Does the set contain multiple felts?
The CL08-13P set includes 2 felts. This quantity allows equipping the tilt mechanism on the clutch side.
For which playing styles are these hi-hat felts suitable?
The tilt adjustment suits rock, pop, funk, jazz, and metal styles. A slight tilt of the top cymbal makes dynamic control easier, especially at low volume.
