Re: Hi-Hat Notation and Tonality/replacement recommendation
Open Hat means to strike the cymbal while the hi-hat is opened, this is oftened followed by a closed Hi hat cymbal, you can experiment with when you open and close the Hi-hat to get different sounds, it's basically a judgement call by the drummer as to what sound they want, for a particular beat. It is hard to find a decent set of Hats moderately priced, because you are buying a pair of cymbals. If there is a local drum shop go there and listen to a wife variety of cymbals, and pick the sound that most appeals to you.
Gretsch Catalina Birch 6 piece fusion set (10,12,14,16in. Toms, 22 Bass). Sabian 20" HH Classic Ride, 16" Istanbul Agop Dark Crash, & Zildian K 13" Hi-hats.
