Some drummers even use completely mismatched hi-hats from different cymbal ranges ( Zildjian's K / Z hats ), of different manufacturers, and even of different sizes ( similar to the K Custom Session Hats where the top hat is a sixteenth of an inch smaller than the bottom ).

In this variation of the hi-hat, the top cymbal moves down and the bottom cymbal moves up simultaneously while the middle cymbal remains stationary.

The top cymbal is mounted horizontal and bell up, while an adjustment screw allows the bottom cymbal to be either horizontal or slightly tilted.

The height of the top cymbal with the pedal released is adjustable by varying the position of the clutch on the centre shaft.

So, when the foot plate of the pedal is pressed, the top cymbal crashes onto the bottom cymbal ( closed hi-hat ).

When released, the top cymbal returns to its original position above the bottom cymbal ( open hi-hat ).

The spring tension controls the amount of pressure required to lower the top cymbal, and how fast it returns to its open position, and can also be varied.

There are several patterns of clutch used to support the top cymbal, but the most common uses a knurled collar that is part threaded below the cymbal, and a pair of knurled rings above it.

On the other hand, if the player manually lowers the top cymbal of a standard hi-hat stand before playing, this allows any desired tension to be set, and the pedal can still be used to increase the tension while playing, but not to open the hats or to reduce the tension.

On top of this he played fills and cymbal accents.

* Poochini is transformed into a Chinese stereotype when a cymbal is thrown on his head by the conductor, simulating the coolie hat which is wide and flat, with a point in the top.

A poyk is similar to a bass drum, and often has a cymbal or piece of metal mounted on top.

These usually consist of a piece of rubber or foam rubber that is laid on top of each drum head and cymbal.

* Attached to a drum rack or a ( very heavy duty ) cymbal stand by means of a rim mount on the top or bottom rim.

The left hand holds one cymbal stationary, while the right hand brings the other cymbal together, with the top ( at soft dynamics ) or left ( at loud dynamics ) edge hitting first, followed almost immediately by the other.

It is a truism of business that no business can be better than its board of directors and its top management.

Another thing that must be taken into consideration is the volume of the area between the top of the piston and the top of the cylinder block when the piston is in top dead center position.

The only way to determine the final combustion chamber volume when such pistons are used is by measuring it with liquid while the cylinder head is bolted to the cylinder block and the piston is in top dead center position.

The single-barrel Stevens 940Y ( under $35 ) is made with a side lever rather than a top-tang lever because many youngsters aren't strong enough to operate a top tang to open a gun -- and the side lever does indeed open very easily.

After trimming off the excess on the frames and transom which was used to fasten them to the jig at a working height, the top of the side planking is installed.

The addition of endurance training later, when the body is mature enough to benefit from it without danger of injury, provides that final quality that makes the top athlete, soldier or citizen.

Historically, women's bicycle frames had a top tube that connected in the middle of the seat tube instead of the top, resulting in a lower standover height at the expense of compromised structural integrity, since this places a strong bending load in the seat tube, and bicycle frame members are typically weak in bending.

To receive newer digital cable most TVs require a " digital television adapter " ( set top box ) called a cable converter, connected between the incoming cable and the TV, that processes digital signals.

The opportunities that were previously afforded to those at the top of a bell curve are opened up to the diversity of all students, in a democratic vision, sometimes connected to social justice.

The piston is returned to the cylinder top ( Top Dead Centre ) by a flywheel, the power from other pistons connected to the same shaft or ( in a double acting cylinder ) by the same process acting on the other side of the piston.

When electrification came, Americans began to speak of trolleycars or later, trolleys, believed to derive from the troller, a four-wheeled device that was dragged along dual overhead wires by a cable that connected the troller to the top of the car and collected electrical power from the overhead wires, sometimes simply strung, sometimes on a catenary.

When the top and bottom contacts were connected by a wire, an electric current flowed through the voltaic pile and the connecting wire.

:: A type of network topology that is composed of individual networks that are based upon the physical star topology connected in a linear fashion – i. e., ' daisy-chained ' – with no central or top level connection point ( e. g., two or more ' stacked ' hubs, along with their associated star connected nodes or ' spokes ').

The type of network topology in which a central ' root ' node ( the top level of the hierarchy ) is connected to one or more other nodes that are one level lower in the hierarchy ( i. e., the second level ) with a point-to-point link between each of the second level nodes and the top level central ' root ' node, while each of the second level nodes that are connected to the top level central ' root ' node will also have one or more other nodes that are one level lower in the hierarchy ( i. e., the third level ) connected to it, also with a point-to-point link, the top level central ' root ' node being the only node that has no other node above it in the hierarchy ( The hierarchy of the tree is symmetrical.
