Talk:Hi-hat

message: 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)

message: I've reverted an undiscussed edit  that may even be tongue in cheek.
There is no error. We are talking about the pair as two separate cymbals. If the singular is used, we need to ask what's it similar to?, while the plural makes it clear that what is being discussed is whether the two cymbals are similar to each other.
The treatment of pairs in English is complex. We say the pants are red not the pants is red, but we're taling about a single pair of pants. The grammar may not be the best, but the edit I've reversed made it worse, not better. Andrewa (talk) 10:33, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

*Comment/question:  Would you also consider this article as the primary topic for the term High hat, a plausible misspelling that is currently a disambiguation page? Would you also consider all redirects of alternate spellings that currently redirect towards the disambiguation page (such as , , and  plausible misspellings/plural forms of the subject of the instrument article? (I'm honestly neutral (Changed to support; see below.) on this revert: I performed the bold move of this article from Hi-hat to Hi-hat (instrument), but did so due to the amount of other terms on the disambiguation page High hat.)
