Hihat cymbals: the #1 most important cymbals for ANY drum set
If you're ready to play but don't have much direction or influence yet, you are going to want to begin with hihat cymbals. Hihats, along with bass and snare drum, form the most basic time-keeping “ingredients” needed for drum set playing. Hihats are a pair of cymbals mounted on a pedal activated stand that brings them in contact with each other (imagine a “chick” sound).
Meinl HCS hihats (sold as a pair) are specially weighted so the bottom cymbal is slightly heavier than the top cymbal.
Why does this matter?
Having the weight arranged this way enhances the crisp “chick” sound the hihats create while giving them a better feel. Look for the “top” and “bottom” stamps to know which goes where on your stand.
Available in 13″ – 15″ sizes for the most common personal preferences.
