Lo-fi closed hi hat sample, crunchy and short

About this sample

This 0.11-second mono hat combines white noise high-passed at 6.5 kHz with three metallic sine tones at 7,310, 10,370, and 12,890 Hz, also high-passed at 6 kHz. Both layers have a 1 ms attack and fast exponential decays; the noise decays at 48 and the tones at 38. Six-bit bit reduction with downsampling, drive-2 saturation, and a 15 ms fade-out give the transient its crunchy, brittle tail, while the final peak is set to -3 dB.

Use it for lo-fi hip-hop, dusty breaks, or other beats that benefit from a sharp, short top-end accent. It can sit over a cleaner hat for extra grit, but its concentrated high frequencies may build up in dense patterns; check against the snare and other bright percussion.
