To choose the best microphone that will get your sound to the next level, take into account the characteristics of your drum set, type of music, recordings frequency and location. In case you are looking for a better sound during your live performances, I highly recommend to choose more expensive options, because the quality of microphone, its sensitivity and protection from noises will impact the quality of your drum sessions. For those who are only getting acquainted with hi hats and want to improve the quality of their sound while playing at home or in the studio, more affordable models can be a great option to start working in this direction.
