For the use with GEWA factory Trigger Banks the top cymbal needs to be mounted high enough, so that the
Clutch Bumper (E) does not press down the controller shaft (O). See Figure 6 for comparison.
Lift the top cymbal gradually, until the carriage of the Hi-Hat Controller (O) stops following the
1
movement.
In this position, fasten the clutch wing screw (N) as shown in Figure 5.
2
After step 2, the Clutch Bumper (E) should be touching the carriage Hi-Hat Controller (O), without
pressing the shaft down (see Figure 6). This corresponds to a minimum cymbal spacing (S) of approx-
3
imately 19 mm (¾").
4
(Optional) Repeat steps 1-3 with a higher position of the top cymbal for wider cymbal spacing.
GEWA Drum Consoles: Cymbal spacing below the minimum (S) is possible but requires adjusting
the trigger parameter "High Position" (Hi-Hat Controller). For more information, please refer to the
Note
section Trigger Settings in the owner´s manual of your GEWA drum console.
