The HiHat is an essential element in any drum setup, consisting of two stacked cymbals – a top and bottom cymbal – mounted on a HiHat stand using a clutch mechanism. Drummers control the foot pedal to open and close the cymbals, producing a variety of tonal expressions. HiHats come in different sizes, typically between 13 and 15 inches, and are crafted from bronze alloys such as B20 or B8. These factors, along with the manufacturing process – whether cast or sheet bronze – shape the cymbal’s sound characteristics. Timeless classics include the Zildjian New Beat HiHat and the Paiste PST7 HiHat.
Finding the ideal HiHat requires an understanding of the desired sound and its role in your preferred genre. For energetic styles like rock or pop, a bright and cutting HiHat such as the Paiste 2002 HiHat or Sabian AAX HiHat is ideal. In jazz and blues, drummers often prefer a warmer, darker tone, such as the Zildjian K Dark HiHat.
Size also plays a crucial role:
Additionally, the material and production method affect the tone. A B20 alloy generally produces a complex, musical sound, while B8 alloy HiHats tend to be brighter and more cutting.
A 14” HiHat is the best all-round option, striking the perfect balance between volume, articulation, and versatility across multiple genres. A medium-weight HiHat with a B20 alloy is recommended, as it offers a mix of brightness and warmth. Hand-hammered models, such as the Fame Masters B20 HiHat, provide richer overtones and a more dynamic response.
For drummers looking for an all-purpose HiHat, these models are highly regarded:
These models offer universal playability, making them suitable for various musical settings, from jazz clubs to rock stages.
