Meinl Hi-Hat Cymbals
Modern drummers concede that the hihats may be the most important cymbal in today's drum kit. Hi-hats are actually two cymbals that work together and can be played "open" with the top and bottom cymbals apart, or "closed" with both cymbals clamped firmly together by the foot pedal.
Hi-hats also invite experimentation among more ambitious drummers, and you'll find that you can get quite a few different sounds by striking the top cymbal and opening and closing the gap between the two cymbals at different speeds and distances. In contemporary music, hi-hat cymbals are most commonly used in R&B, urban hip-hop, club disco, jazz, reggae and rock 'n' roll settings.
