What to Look for When Buying a Hi-Hat Cymbal


The former president and head of development at T&vT in Amsterdam, Hans Van Tartwijk currently oversees investments at Princeton Property Partners. Outside of his professional activities, Hans Van Tartwijk enjoys playing the drums in his free time.

The hi-hat cymbal is an integral part of a standard drum kit and consists of two cymbals mounted together on a stand and connected to a foot pedal. When buying a hi-hat cymbal, it is important to consider factors such as the design of both cymbals. A thicker bottom cymbal enables the drummer to achieve a crisp sound. A wavy bottom cymbal achieves the same effect. Although it is possible to purchase top and bottom cymbals separately, most drummers prefer to buy them as a set.

When it comes to hi-hat stands comfort is king. Drummers often find that uncomfortable hi-hat stands result in less confident playing. Because the hi-hat typically receives a lot of action during a session, it is important to choose a durable stand. For more advanced drummers, a stand with adjustable cymbal distance adds another layer of versatility.
