How to choose
Pick hi-hats by size and weight, since a lighter pair opens and closes faster while a heavier pair sits tighter and cuts through more.
Beginner
A Sabian B8X or SBR pair of 14 inch hi-hats is a simple starting point that suits most beginner kits. Practise controlling the foot pedal pressure to get a clean chick sound before working on open and closed variations.
Intermediate
Players wanting more control often move to a Sabian AAX X-Celerator or T-Cymbals Swing King pair for extra articulation. Try opening the hats slightly during grooves to hear how the pair washes compared to a fully closed sound.
Expert
Experienced players choosing Meinl Byzance Dark or Sabian HHX Complex hi-hats are usually after a specific stick and foot response for recording or a demanding set. Check the felts and clutch regularly, since worn felts change how the hats close and affect the sound.

About Hats
Hi-hats are the pair of cymbals played with a foot pedal that carry the steady pulse of most drum grooves, and they are usually one of the first cymbals a drummer owns.
This page has hi-hat pairs from budget Sabian SBR and B8X models to Sabian HHX and Meinl Byzance hats for players wanting more nuance in their sound.
