Here is a quick comparison of two different sized hi-hat's from heartbeat percussion! They both sound killer just different. Note the 16's are brand new and the 17's are about a year old.
I used a single mic to the do the recording, a MXL144 ribbon mic. The mic went into a Focusrite Saffire Pro40 and then Apple Logic.
The drums are both Risen drums. The snare is a 7x14 walnut stave, and the bass drum is a 16x22 6-ply maple.
