it's always refreshing to listen to some 60/70s recordings like CSNY and realize that one of the reasons i enjoy the sound so much is that there's often no hi hat being played. Leaves so much space in the arrangement. |

... If you care that much about the hi-hat... ... There might be something wrong with the MUSIC. |

Due resect - but of all people who might have responded to this thread I would have expected you to understand just how important great capture of a great drummers playing of the H/H is to the groove of a song. |

In answer to when the hh mic became ubiquitous, I recall in the 60's I would mic it about 50/50. If I did, it would be with either a KM-84, or by late 60's a 451. |

[Unfortunately for those of us not working predominately with Steve Gadd it's also a crutch and a timekeeper for ham fisted bucket beaters. Often times, my entire approach to recording drums is figuring out how I can keep EVERY mic in the room from being a hat mic... |

It's the one you turn up very loud in the drummer's headphone mix to make him play it more quietly. |

i had the pleasure of playing live with mr. purdie a coupla weeks ago and he was behind the club's crappy house kit making a shitty pair of sabian B8 hats sound like, well mr. bernard purdie! more on topic... ac/dc's phil rudd. all about the hat. i.e. has he EVER even touched the ride cymbal? |
