What's the difference between a 'low bell' and a 'high bell' hi-hat?

The bell refers to the cymbal's center; a 'low bell' produces a darker, more mellow sound while a 'high bell' delivers a brighter, more cutting tone.

Why is the profile of the top and bottom cymbals so important?

The profiles dictate how the cymbals interact when closed and open, influencing stick response, pedal feel, and the overall sonic character – a mismatched pair can feel awkward.

What does 'hole count' have to do with hi-hat sound?

Generally, more holes allow for more air to pass through, creating a more open and washy sound. Fewer holes tend to result in a drier, more defined stick sound.
