Hi-Hat Cymbals

Hi-Hat Cymbals come in pairs which sit together on a stand and can be open and closed with a pedal. Hi-hats are the most common type of cymbal, found on almost every single drum kit.

Lighter hi-hat cymbals produce a bright sound whilst heavier hi-hats tend to product a darker sound.When hi-hats are open they provide a nice additional accent in a drummer's repertoire as they have a sandy, sizzle that cuts through other sounds. When played closed the sound varies from a crisp, percussive note to a more muted and metallic sound, depending on the style of hi-hat you choose.
