Hi Hats

Her preferred sound favors house music stripped of all of its excesses, until just the subtlest, most inciting parts remain: a muted bass kick, itinerant snippets of hi-hats, a warm chord or vocal part here and there. ❋ Andy Battaglia (2012)

This was my first time making hi-hats, and I had heard horror stories about the frosting falling off into the chocolate. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Thanks for sharing I've been wanting to try making hi-hats, too. ❋ Unknown (2009)

At one end of the emotional spectrum there's the shouty indie-disco flavours of Drunk Girls and Pow Pow, the latter of which sets a stream of consciousness rant against a backdrop of twitchy guitars and flanged hi-hats. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The theme of water runs through this album: Samples of hi-hats that sound like drizzling rain, looped triangles that resemble trickling streams and Prophet keyboards emissions like breaking waves. ❋ Eeleen Lee (2010)

Sneakily (and I don't know if Seth has picked up on this) I eliminated all cymbals from the majority of the piece; there's some treated cymbals in the bridge, where everything turns right on its head, but there's no cymbals in the rest -- no hi-hats, no tambourines, nothing. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Anyway, the new record, released this last week, is full of all kinds of deep stuff: subtle drum patterns, skittering hi-hats, super deep basslines, delicate synths - all of which harkens back to their first album, 2003's Digital Russian, released by Force Tracks. ❋ Unknown (2006)

The proto-disco song is noted for its driving hi-hats and was a blueprint for subsequent four-on-the-floor dance records. ❋ Unknown (2008)

I went with this particular song because its got this feel and resonance that's just impossible to beat - the bass, the synth pads and the perfect little hi-hats. ❋ Unknown (2005)

Cupcakes Take The Cake: Chocolate covered hi-hats skip to main ❋ Unknown (2005)

I had problems with that chocolate sour cream cupcake recipe as well when I was making the chocolate-covered hi-hats. ❋ Cupcake Queen (2005)

Kasper uses: Roland SPD20 Octapad with external pedal, some cymbals and hi-hats and two kinds of snare drums, plus one JoMoX AiRBase. ❋ Unknown (2001)

Mr. Mathambo's rhymes and choruses were backed by the bloopy tones of electro, the bass thuds of dubstep and the deep drumbeats and crackling hi-hats of tribal house. ❋ By JON PARELES (2011)

Once the rhythmic backbone of "Don't Break My Love" busts in, the drums and hi-hats launch tinny pings of noise from off the underlying fuzz. ❋ Unknown (2011)
