This is a great addition for using extra splashes or small bells to put in a convenient place, just above the hihat. Only issue is, if you use a larger splash or bell (meaning 8" and above) it can hinder your ability to dig into the hihat. The added cymbal will cover most of the hihat's surface area, so... use small bells or splashes or use a 15" hihat. Otherwise great and easy to use product.
