Editing Clash cymbals (section)

===Hi-hats===
{{Main|Hi-hat (instrument)}}
A [[drum kit]] normally contains one pair of clash cymbals mounted on a pedal-operated [[hi-hat stand]]. These are commonly far smaller and lighter than hand-operated clash cymbals, and are played with [[drum stick]]s as well as clashed together using the pedal. The hi-hat arose out of the need for [[vaudeville]] [[Pit orchestra|pit orchestras]] to combine the roles of a bass drummer, snare drummer, and cymbalist into one player, eventually forming the modern [[Drum kit|drum set]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Aldridge |first=John |title=Guide to Vintage Drums |publisher=Centerstream Publishing |year=1994 |isbn=0-931759-79-X |pages=22 |oclc=32097991}}</ref>
