Not for me it isn't. I've never met a lock nut that locks and stays locked. I set my clutch up like No. 1, and it never loosens. I can adjust the "sloppiness" from the top.

The second one is technically correct and has never let me down in 25 years of playing. It's designed to keep the movement of the top cymbal constant.
There are no rules though so if the first method works for you then go for it. |

| They both look OK to me. The 2nd one, I believe, has a tightening of the thread at the end of the nut underneath, so it tightens fast against the bottom of the clutch. You can then adjust the sloppiness with the top 2 slim nuts, and keep it fixed by tightening them against each other. |

| the bottom plastic nut serves a purpose. once you hit the 'stop' (thread only goes part way down it) you can adjust 'sloppiness' with the first top ring, then lock it into position with the second top ring. simple engineering |

IMHO no, the best is the Sonor hexagonal hole/rod design. Simple and 100% can't loosen when playing. |
