A hi hat is a type of cymbal which has two parts (two cymbals) positioned on a stand with a foot pedal. The two cymbals can be pressed together with the foot pedal, which allows for a quick tapping sound, or tapped against each other rhythmically by pumping the foot pedal. This cymbal makes it possible to concentrate the hands on the drums, getting more complex patterns of cymbals and drums without having to use the hands as quickly.

∙ 14y agoThe high hat is the double cymbals usually found to the left of the bass and snare drum. The hi-hat is assembled on a stand that includes a clutch driven pedal which is used to give the high hat it's distinctive sound when the 2 cymbals clash against each other. The high hat is usually used as the cymbal that counts out the full beat, as does the ride cymbal.

What is the cymbal with the pedal?
Hi-hat
Does it matter which hi hat cymbal goes on the top or bottom?
Yes, in most cases it does matter. Usually the bottom hi-hat will be a little more flat. Sometimes depending on the model - it might even tell you which is which. Sometimes the bottom hi-hat has holes in it to allow air to escape.

What are the names of all the cymbals you can have on a drum set?
2 together is a Hi Hat. 12" or less is a splash. 14" to 18" is a crash. 20" or more is a ride. If it has bent sides it is most likely a china, which are usually 16" to 20". Sometimes you can get something called a crash ride, this is usually 18". There are all sorts of weird or unusual cymbals that make different sounds in addition to the ones listed above.
How do you plays double bass while using a hi hat?
When someone plays double bass drums or double bass pedals while playing the hi-hat pedal one foot is doing the work of two feet...to make this possible there have been devices made. Below is a list of options that I've observed. 1. The Hi-Hat Pedal Clutch - Some hi-hat stands come with a clutch near the footboard, this is so a drummer can pick the desired tention of the hi-hats (closed, loose, or open) with the foot board then flip the clutch to keep it stationary so your foot can switch over to the bass pedal. 2. Put Your Foot Halfway On Each - This techinque also works depending on which speed you will be playing at. I've seen some drummers put the heel of their foot on the hi-hat pedal and the upper part of their foot on the bass pedal. 3. Get Another Pair Of Hi-Hats - Some drummers get a second pair of hi-hat cymbals that are set to the right of their kit (or to the right if they are left handed) : and even in the middle sometimes above their toms ; that are left loose for the primary purpose of being played when the secondary foot makes the switch from the hi-hat pedal to the bass pedal. 4. The Hi-Hat Drop Clutch - There is also a little device that you can screw onto your top hi-hat cymbal just like the clutch that connects to the rod and raises and lowers the top hi-hat cymbal, but this devices also has a switch on it that you can flip with your hand or with a stick that drops the top hi-hat cymbal down onto the bottom one leaving it more loose then closed. I think I covered most of the modern possiblities. Enjoy. :)

How many symbols does a hi-hat have?
Two. When an instructor teachs you a drum beat or someone else shows you something on the drums they usually say to play on the hi-hat cymbal, I think the reason they say that is because you are only hitting the top cymbal with your stick, mallet, brush, etc, instead of hitting both cymbals. 1. Top Hat (usually higher in pitch) 2. Bottom Hat (usually lower in pitch) A pair of Hi-Hats.

What does a hi-hat drop clutch do?
A drop clutch is a device that allows a drummer to close the hi-hat with a single stroke of a drumstick so that, while the drummer is using both feet to play two bass drum pedals, the drummer can play his sticks on the closed hi-hat. Without a drop clutch device on the hi hat, when the drummer takes his foot off the hi hat in order to play the second bass drum pedal, the hi hat stays open. The "stuck open" top hi hat does not lend itself to being played repetitively with a stick. The drop clutch, when struck once with a drumstick, allows the top hi hat cymbal to fall down onto the bottom hi hat cymbal by using gravity. Therefore, although the drummer is no longer using his or her foot to keep the hi hat closed, the drummer can play sticks on the closed hi hat cymbals while using his hi hat foot on a second bass drum pedal. When the drummer is ready to open and close the hi hat by foot, stepping on the hi hat pedal re-engages the drop clutch so that the top and bottom hi hat cymbals are held open again.
