schmee Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 like any drum - any instrument - the hi-hat is what one makes of it. suggesting its removal, its over-use, its elegance or even its obscenity is usually the reflection of its last known state, or the ignorance of its critic. from what i can tell, the first post in this thread is about someone discovering the ommission of the hi-hat from their own work. but the vein of this thread flares in many different directions - thankfully, for that is what makes this place so fun. omitting the hi-hat from any production/ensemble/composition for fear of abuse, cliche or wreckless abandon seems as absurd as any other suggestion which would prevent a thing so simple as a sound from being possible. that prospect seems counter-intuitive to the very nature of our collective endeavor here. however, the potential discovery which comes from asking such questions - along with perhaps any question... the process which naturally follows in open discussion among such a group, is what motivates so many of us to return again and again to these procedures. why? what if? how about? --_ ______________ _ "Self-awareness is the key to your upheaval from mediocrity."
