The hi-hat is the pair of cymbals on a drum kit that consists of two cymbals connected, one on top of the other, upon a stand. The cymbals can be brought together or apart by the use of a pedal at the bottom of the stand. The hi-hat is an integral part of most drum sets and, when played properly, can add an essential sound to your playing. Playing a hi-hat with brushes gives a unique sound, which is more diffused and quieter than if a drummer uses drumsticks or rods. Read on to learn how to play a hi-hat with brushes.
