When someone plays double bass drums or double bass pedals while playing the

hi-hat pedal one foot is doing the work of two feet...to make this possible there

have been devices made.

Below is a list of options that I've observed.

1. The Hi-Hat Pedal Clutch - Some hi-hat stands come with a clutch near the footboard,

this is so a drummer can pick the desired tention of the hi-hats (closed, loose, or

open) with the foot board then flip the clutch to keep it stationary so your foot can

switch over to the bass pedal.

2. Put Your Foot Halfway On Each - This techinque also works depending on which

speed you will be playing at. I've seen some drummers put the heel of their foot

on the hi-hat pedal and the upper part of their foot on the bass pedal.

3. Get Another Pair Of Hi-Hats - Some drummers get a second pair of hi-hat cymbals

that are set to the right of their kit (or to the right if they are left handed) : and

even in the middle sometimes above their toms ; that are left loose for the primary

purpose of being played when the secondary foot makes the switch from the hi-hat

pedal to the bass pedal.

4. The Hi-Hat Drop Clutch - There is also a little device that you can screw onto your

top hi-hat cymbal just like the clutch that connects to the rod and raises and lowers

the top hi-hat cymbal, but this devices also has a switch on it that you can flip with

your hand or with a stick that drops the top hi-hat cymbal down onto the bottom

one leaving it more loose then closed.

I think I covered most of the modern possiblities.

Enjoy. :)
