i keep mine just about a foot away a bit less from the snare. im still experimenting. every time iv tried to change the hight of my hi-hat it feels weird and i always hit my sticks together or i do something dumb. but i always get used to the change after awhile. your hands just automatically start moving in different places so you can avoid hitting your sticks and stuff. anyways i dont know why i said that. look at don femularo or whatever his name is, his hi-hat is pretty much level with his snare. :| so yea i think its all about preference, only real advantage i can think of having the hi-hat real low is so you can do those fast 16th notes on the hi-hat with 2 hands, but thats just me
