[edit] Origin of name
THe hi in hi-hat is fairly obvious I think, but why are the cymbals referred to as a 'hat'. The only hat I know of looking like this is the Chinese coolies hat. Is that where it comes from?--Light current 16:17, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- That's possible. Back in the the early 20th century they were called "snow shoes" and "low boys."--Atticus2020 08:14, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Chick?
I see the term "chick" used three times in the article, but can't seem to find the definition of the term. "chick drumming" on Google just turns up with some videos of females playing the drums. Clarification please? Poiuyt Man talk 15:38, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
