I saw a thing on Instagram (can’t find, sorry) where a producer who worked with Prince on “Kiss” said they put delay on the hi hats and then used the hats to gate the guitar sound, and the guitar rhythm it produced was epic, and it was an ongoing problem for playing the song on guitar live.

Ae have loads of examples of mad hat work. sometimes they just use them as the only regular rhythmic element to great effect.

Funny you mention that. Im learning the end titles on the Rhodes atm when he throws his star away… But the opening has hi hats and great drumming.
