Using the hi-hat
In an acoustic drum set, the hi-hat consists
of two cymbals placed facing each other
vertically on a hi-hat stand. The two
cymbals can be closed together by pressing
the pedal.
A variety of playing techniques are possible,
such as playing the cymbals with the pedal
and/or playing them with sticks.
When you press the pedal, the two cymbals
will come together (closed). When you
release the pedal, the two cymbals will
separate (opened).
The HD-3 lets you use five different hi-hat
performance techniques.
Closed
With the hi-hat pedal pressed firmly, strike
the pad with a stick. A short "chick" sound
will be heard.
Half-open
With the hi-hat pedal pressed gently, strike
the pad with a stick. A slightly longer "swish"
sound will be heard.
Introducing the Drum Set
Open
With the hi-hat pedal completely released,
strike the pad with a stick. An even longer
"sound" than the half-open sound will be
heard.
Foot closed
Just press the pedal without using a stick.
This sound will be softer and shorter than
the closed sound played with a stick. Useful
for keeping time with this tight sound.
Foot splash
Press and immediately release the pedal
without using a stick.
This is equivalent to momentarily clashing
the two cymbals of an acoustic hi-hat. It
produces a "splash" sound that is softer than
the open strike.
