The Hi-Hat is probably the bit of your kit you play the most so it’s important to get it right. The correct hi-hat cymbals can really make or break your sound.
All drummers have their own idea of how a hi-hat should sound. Some drummers are looking for a dry and dark sound like Meinl Byzance Traditional or plenty of cut and definition from something like a Sabian AAX-Plosion or a nice lush wash from Istanbul Agop’s traditional range.
Brass hi-hat cymbals are the cheapest type available but wont dent and bend like starter cymbals can.
Mid range cymbal ranges like the PST7 and PST8 are generally made from B8 bronze. More expensive ranges are generally made from B20 bronze giving them a little bit more cut and projection.
Hand crafted hi-hat cymbals such as Sabian’s HHX, Istanbul Agop’s Traditional range, Paiste’s 2002 range and Meinl’s Byzance Traditional range are generally seen as the highest quality available. Hand hammering techniques bring out depth and darkness that other methods can’t achieve. However machine finished B20 hi-hat cymbals such as the Sabian AAX range and the Istanbul Agop Xist range tend to be a bit brighter and aggressive than their hand hammered counterparts. This makes them great for rock, punk and metal. The Xist range in particular is priced like a mid range hi-hat cymbal but sounds like pro level making it a great value choice.
