You have to stomp to get any usable sound and by then you'll be hearing mostly the sound of it topping out on the up stroke..not a useful effect.

GREAT SOUND EFFECT

I use it predominately on my hi-hat and it gives a real nice accent to stick strokes and offers differing effects with closed/open hats or even if striking the actual metal ring

Great effect

I think the effect is best on a high hat

but I am genuinely surprised at what a complimentary effect it had on the hats
