I think the effect is best on a high hat

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

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

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 effect

GREAT SOUND EFFECT
