Gibraltar SC-RP171 Hi-Hat Attach Clamp

Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A clamp that attaches a hi-hat arm to a rack tube or stand leg, for drummers adding a second hi-hat or tightening up an existing setup.

Product studyGibraltar SC-RP171 Hi-Hat Attach Clamp

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Adding an auxiliary or remote hi-hat to a rack setup
  • Freeing floor space by moving the hi-hat onto existing tubing
  • Repairing or replacing a lost clamp on a Gibraltar rack

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Drummers without a rack tube or comparable pipe to clamp to
  • Anyone expecting a hi-hat stand — this is hardware only
  • Setups where the target tube diameter is not standard

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Clamp-style mount

Position is fully adjustable along the tube, so hi-hat height and angle move with your seat, not a fixed leg.

Detail 02

Attaches to rack tube or stand

Works off gear you already own, which is why it costs a fraction of a full hi-hat stand.

Detail 03

Gibraltar hardware

Sized to Gibraltar's own rack tubing, so it drops onto a matching rack without shimming or adapters.

Detail 04

Under $30

Cheap enough to keep a spare in the hardware bag; clamps are the part that goes missing on load-in.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Hi-hat arm, cymbals and rack tube are not included
  2. 02Measure your tube diameter before ordering — clamps are diameter-specific
  3. 03Budget a drum key or wrench for tightening; check bolts after a few sessions

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does this come with a hi-hat arm?

No. This is the clamp only. You supply the hi-hat arm or holder and the cymbals it carries.

02Can I use this for an X-hat?

Yes. Mounting a hi-hat arm off a rack tube with a clamp is the standard way to add a fixed auxiliary hat.

03Will it fit a non-Gibraltar rack?

It fits tubing of the same diameter. Check your rack's tube size against the clamp before buying.

04Do I need tools to install it?

A drum key or wrench for the tightening bolts. Installation is a few minutes on an assembled rack.
