Which cymbal can you play with a pedal?

When struck closed or played with the pedal, the hi-hat gives a short, crisp, muted percussive sound, referred to as a “chick”. Adjusting the gap between the cymbals can alter the sound of the open hi-hat from a shimmering, sustained tone to something similar to a ride cymbal.

Why is the hi hat on the left?

Are you right or left handed? Typically, right handed drummers use their right hand on the hi hats, left handed their left. Your hi hat hand is usually going to be doing more work, so in a way it makes more sense to have your dominant hand be your lead hand.

Not only will they be quieter than a regular set of cymbals, but they will sound, feel and look different too. Thinner cymbals generally sound less bright than heavier cymbals, and it’s those high-end ‘bright’ frequencies that you want to try and get rid of when lowering the volume of your setup.
