.........with drummers that play with their hi-hats at a very high setting?? I tried out for a band last night and I had to play on some other guy's kit. I found myself reaching for the hi-hats and my arms were dying by the end of the practice. Come to think of it, the crash cymbals were towering over me so he must've been tall. I know personal preference and height factors in but I've know other people who set their hi-hats just as high as the one I played on and they were about my height/throne was set to same height. Does this have some sort of advantage I don't know about. I keep my hi-hat a couple of inches above my snare.
