Post Poll Time!! Hi-Hats!!
ok so i've seen a lot of people play and one thing i have noticed is the tightness and looseness people keep their hi hats. i would like to know what do you prefer and why. by tightness and looseness i do not mean how far apart you keep the top and bottom hat, i mean how much is the top hat choked or not choked by the clutch piece of the hi hat stand. But might as well include that too!

So how tight or loose, and how close or far apart do you like you're hi hats? and why?

I like loose and medium distance because I like to play open hats alot and if it was farther apart and tighter it would be clangy. You can't have em too close or else you won't get a good chick.

I like mine tight and pretty close together. I don't like when my hats are loose and flopping around, and I don't like when they are clangy.

I was just think about making a topic about this. deja vu!

loose and close-ish together, about an 3/4 to 1" apart. Gets a nice, funky chick, and a nice washy open/semi open.

I usually play with my feet on the bass pedals so I just keep my hats closed on their own weight.

loose and fairly close together. I like to get some "slosh" when I need it.

I am the same way, I actually hate when my hi-hats are too far apart sometimes the my drop clutch will loosen itself and slide up while I am playing and that really gets to me! I also dont like to have any of cymbals tightend down I feel it chokes em.

Most often I set up with the back edges of the hats touching and about a half inch of gap in the front. I leave the clutch somewhat loose to allow lots of flex. I do this because I don't chick my hats. Sorry, never have.
