That is what it does.
It quickly releases, and also quickly re-attaches, the top high-hat cymbal which is normally affixed directly to a rod mechanically connected to the foot pedal.

This device, called a "
drop clutch" replaces the wing-nut in the normal high-hat clutch with it's own wing-nut, and the lever-operated clamp that "grabs" the standard clutch. When you engage the lever, the top cymbal "drops" and when you step on the pedal, the clutch re-engages.
It temporarily converts your pedal-operated high-hat into a fixed-position high-hat. If you are operating a different pedal with your left foot (like a second bass-drum pedal), you might want this option.
