In regards to, how do you put together a hi-hat drum?
- Adjust the Legs.

- Tighten the Clutch Nuts.
- Set the Upper Height Adjustment Tube.

- Add Percussion to the Setup.
Furthermore, how tight should Hi-Hat Clutch be? A little loose gives a good “wash” too, when you want it. Rub your palms together…the looser you have the hats, the more of THAT action between the cymbals you get. The tighter the hats, the more the edges will stay in line with each other, and the result is more “clang” sound.

Does bottom hi-hat matter?
The weight of the bottom cymbal in your hihats greatly affects the sound. When closed you will get a more defined (sometimes louder) sound. You’re really notice the difference when operated with the foot “chick”, as well as half-opened “sloshy” sound.

How loud should hi hats be in a mix?
If you absolutely must have a volume level for your hi hats, I would suggest -20 db. But this can vary depending on the artistic effect you’re going for as well as how high the average peak volume of your song is going to be.

What are high hats in music?
What Is a Hi-Hat? A hi-hat consists of a pair of cymbals mounted to a hi-hat stand. The hi-hat stand consists of a metal frame, rod, clutch, and pedal. It’s a standard fixture of the drum kit in many styles of music including blues, rock ‘n’ roll, jazz, pop, and hip-hop.

How do you adjust a DW 5000 Hi Hat?
To adjust the feel of the pedal: 1. Loosen the drumkey screw in the center top of the base casting (front side for 5500D & 5500L, back side for 5500TD & 5500TL). 2. Rotate the drumkey screw clockwise to tighten the spring and counter clockwise to loosen it.
What does a hi hat clutch do?
Standard clutches like the Ludwig L2508 Hi Hat Clutch or Yamaha LC-810A Standard Hi Hat Clutch allow you to attach your top hi hat cymbal to your hi hat stand, letting you open and close your hats with your pedal. Basically, they are central to making your stand actually work!
Why is bottom Hi-Hat heavier?
We all know that heavier cymbals project better and that thinner cymbals respond better, so we put a thinner cymbal on top for the response and most of the tone and a heavier bottom for some extra crispness and projection.

How do you adjust the tension on a hi-hat pedal?
To reduce tension, rotate the Spring Tension Knob to the right (Fig. C) and slide to any position you like. To increase tension, slide the Spring Tension Knob up, to decrease tension, slide the Spring Tension Knob down. The Footboard stabilizer rod should attach to holes in the frame at the bottom of the hi-hat base.
Should hi-hats be mono or stereo?
The kick and the snare should be mono, the open-hats and the toms should be panned, and the closed hi-hats can be both panned and stereo. However, they don’t have to be. Sometimes, you’d want to spread your drums differently around the stereo field.
