Are hi-hats a meme?

Are hi-hats a meme?

no, they are a piece of a musical instrument.

essential flstudiocore

yep, they were the original ironic meme

nah. they're part of the 3 fundamental drum kit pieces: kick snare hats, master those and the rest is cake.

h-hhfrthebest

Wtf how could a hi hat be a meme, essential piece of musical equipment

ride cymbals are the new hi-hat

only if they're trap flavored

hats are my favorite part of a drum set. also the most expressive piece imho

bukkake facials by Jizz Junkies

what does this even meme

Only if their Rattling

yeah they're just an inside joke among drummers
i can't hear one anymore without cracking up

RATTLING HI-HATS

I'm a drummer, can confirm

only open hi hats are memes.

you're all a bunch of bastards I'm going back to bed

Does anyone else hate it being called a kick drum? For some reason I just find it insanely stupid.
Am I just autistic?

Only trap high-hats are memes.

unless it is an object in direct visceral experience then yes it is a meme.

To me, the word for the drum piece itself is bass drum. You can refer to the sound it makes as "kick", since it is created by kicking the bass drum pedal. Calling the bass drum "kick drum" feels kind of like a metonym to me (you refer to a sound source by using the word for the sound it creates).

some kick drums are literally just toms flipped sideways so it's not always a bass drum

The word "meme" should warrant a 3 day ban

I converted an 18x16 tom into my bass drum. I still refer to it as a bass drum.


I want a humungous 26 inch ride cymbal.
You forgetting ride cymbals? The hi-hats I want are about $450, but the ride is a good $600.

I can't afford a new hihat and I've been able to play fine without one for months

yeah I'm up now what ?fuck off

Completely agree

Well Jeremy Barnes, who is probably my favorite drummer said that he dislikes hi-hats and Jeff Mangum, who is probably my favorite musician, and who is also a drummer, said he also doesn't like hi-hats.

agreed

>ride > hat
maybe if you keep it either closed or open all the time. otherwise, hats are the master race.

Define what meme means to you in this context
