This allows the hi-hat to stand out a lot more, because other sounds aren’t playing at the exact same time. The first is because it actually plays a bit late – that’s just how the sound was designed. There’s two reasons why this hi-hat is so prominent, in my opinion. When I remove the hi-hat, so much impact is lost to the over all song. I usually tend to layer multiple sounds for a fuller drum loop, but that’s why I really like this drum loop! It’s so simple! The main drum loop contains a single drum hit, a single snare hit, a single hi-hat, one cymbal, and one open hi-hat.
This drum loop is actually so simple, but each element in the loop is so crucial for its sound.
