(Closed) Hi-hats are played out.

(imma always use any excuse to post this)

The peak of hi hats was the 808 Mafia/ Lex Luger era, everything else has been a b******ization of the instrument lmfao and I mainly blame Southside tbh. His slave labor camp composed of kids from the balkans started making these absurd as hi hats rolls that are so f***ing distracting from all the other aspects of the song.

I propose an embargo so that hi hats can become fresh again. Even further some of the greatest beats of all time don't have hi hats so i think we'd be good man. Use shakers, bongos, open hat reverses or just fill it with louder snares/claps and a bass idc but its time for a brake

we reached the tulip market stage of hi hats when f***ing jetsonmamde was calling some random dude a hi hat god.

@Coatside

lil 88

nah imma do my own thing

I don’t think there are any hi-hats in this one. Great song

Nah we love hi-hats over here open or closed

Sexy drill hi hats are life

I feel ya but it's not going anywhere. Let the lil niggas hi hat roll, synth bass, and soundgoodizer their hearts out

you don't have the exaggerated swagger of black teen

But that s*** so mid now. IT makes the current sonic landscape flat.

hell nah!

Like how do you hear this and think hi hats gotta go

U might be the only guy ever to have this thought

bro got beef with hihats

hit hats are omnipresent it’s about diversity of use!

I was down with him i hated hi hated in that post-lex luger era but hating hihats in 2025 is nuts

lo hat when they least expect it

Third eye not open twin

Because at this point the hi hats are just a d*** measuring contest between producers

The people don’t want that s***!

That means I have you halfway convinced here

Not listening to Chris brown in 2025 you crazy man

*Trap hihats

Listen to music with a real drumkit

then we wouldn’t have s*** like this

just let it go man. just say you don’t like trap and keep it pushing

I think it was implied I wasn’t talking about live drums where you can play and fluctuate the velocity of hats

The song would not be hurt if you removed hi hats dawg lmfao
