Drop clutch

2009-09-09 by psych_9_9

Hey guys, 
I've been a long time list lurker, I've got a lot of useful information out of the group just my listening. But I come to have a specific question:

I have a DTXpress kit (orange module, not sure which version, 2 maybe) and an iron cobra double pedal.  I'm not a metal player or anything, but I am working extensively on my foot vocabulary and dexterity.

I've been playing lots of patterns between my feet and hands, using the ride cymbal because the hi hat is open. I have a drop clutch for my real drums, but never get the opportunity to practice with those.

Is there any hacky mechanism I can use to close the hihats for double pedalage?  I'm not afraid of soldering, or transistors if they fit into a solution.

Cheers
Cat
