CONT

Plus petite que la cymbale «charleston», la high hat - ou hi hat - des orchestres de danse est aussi actionnée au pied.

OBS

Née, comme son nom l'indique, avec le jazz [...] Les deux cymbales choquées par la pédale et laissées vibrer ressemblent à la paire de cymbales dont l'une est fixée sur le fût de la grosse-caisse, mais ne la remplacent pas.
