hi cat,
interesting question you've got here. i remember trying this before but its more of changing the drum kit when i hit a pad. but then again that means you lose one pad for that requirement.
if you have some money to spare, why dont you try the cobra clutch since youve mentioned you're using iron cobras. this might also help you on your foot dexterity. :-)

Sorry guys. I'll try and be a bit clearer.
My hihat pedal is set to mimic a hihat properly, it tracks open, sloshy, closed and pedalled fine.
I have enough pedals and pads to perform the double bassdrum function without 'stealing' the hihat pedal.
I don't need to convert anything into anything else.
I want to electronically add the facility of a drop clutch to get a 'closed' sound from the hihats when the hihat pedal is released, and to restore the hihat to 'normal use' on the next press of the hihat pedal.
I'm not suggesting this is possible without modifying the kit.
Any thoughts?
