This is an idea I’ve wanted share with Dennis and other drum nerds. A double remote hihat stand. One pedal controlling two cables. I don’t think this would be too difficult to accomplish using the current Darwin remote hat design. Dennis would simply have to put the two cable towers next to each other and have two drives. Both top hat cymbals would be adjusted to the same height ideally. Spring tension and such would also be set the same, although maybe it’d be slightly more complex than that because of the two combined springs. I think that could be remedied by simply setting both springs to an equal lower tension, or maybe something else. But it’s definitely not a huge issue. It would work perfectly. This idea is pretty specific to my setup, but I still think it’s worth sharing and getting some thoughts on it. Attached are photos of my unique kit.B1484AB8-7B67-48D1-A98A-9C56DD304250.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)A8EBE759-A5EE-485B-9DA7-008C96BF3321.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)1405208A-8030-443B-894D-26657A7F7C5D.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)A157A84B-CC63-4FBF-ADFE-B91838190F18.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)
A double remote hihat (with one footboard for both) has already been accomplished. Ramon vom the Netherlands (also active here) has it and it seems to work fine. - maybe he's able to share a few pictures if he sees this topic :) I also had an idea of combining the regular hihat with the remote hihat or two remote hihats along with a split footboard on one base plate so both hihats could be controlled independently or together as well. This is still an idea in the top drawer and hopefully, there will come a point where I can get it to CAD and onto the milling machine ;)
Edit: Found the video I made back then (he already had a regular Darwin remote hihat and I only shipped the add on pats of this experiment)

Yes, still got it and it works like a charm. I wanted to make a video a long time ago, maybe this topic helps me to finally do it.
I was thinking of 3 remote hats from the same pedal, one left one right and one in the middle.
What is the sense of 2 HH in one pedal ? HH are mostvtime crises, so more strenght to keep them closed, and they open en close same time …. Can someone explain why 2 HH on one pedal is useful?
I find it very useful for my style (if I have any ) of playing. I play a 14" hihat on my left and a 13" on my right. I play double bass and can keep my heel on the bassdrum pedal when playing either hihat so I don't have to move my leg. I can switch between hihats very fast for some cool stereo effects ( at least that is my plan )
