Zildjian 15" Foot Hat Samples?

I recently created a thread looking for half-open hat samples. Now, I'm looking for what I believe are called "Foot Hat" samples. I'm not a drummer . . . so I don't know the correct terminology. This is the sound made when a drummer stomps on the pedal to open and close the hat. There are no sticks involved. I'm trying to build a Zildjian 15" hat kit to recreate an authentic Ringo-ish sound. He rarely tick tick ticked. He mostly washed over the hats or stomped the pedal.

Where can I find such samples?

Thank you!!

Same answer as last time, actually. That's called a "chik" in drummer-speak, and pretty much any acoustic drum samples are gonna include it. Some hi-hat techniques aren't always sampled, but closed, open and chik are pretty standard.

You might also want something with a Ringo-ish microphone setup and recording room. I'm not sure what those would be, but someone out there has documented and analyzed all that, I'm sure.

Would the MIDI allocation be the pedal hi hat?

Perhaps Native Instruments Abbey Road 50s Drummer and/or 60s Drummer ?
You get whole kits which sound very Beat genre like.

I've never heard them called a "chik" as far as labelling samples go... in fact I've never heard them called that, full stop. I think they're commonly called "hi-hat stomps", or just "hi-hat pedal".

Would Hi Hat Pedal and Foot Hi Hat be the same thing? Is that the sound found on G# between the standard closed hat on F# and the open on A#?

"pedal" is the one typically mapped on G#, yes. It does not typically splash it, it closes it and that's that. In say BFD3 terms the kicking-it-open is called 'Splash' and I look to load it at a different G#, just to keep up with it best.

You eventually want to get a good drum vi + library rather than try and piece it together ad hoc, that is if you want a drums track to sound like drums played, you want multisampled, many layers, here especially with hihat.

Thanks!! I'm using these samples/kits mostly for educational purposes. I have much research to do . . . learning a lot along the way. Continued thanks!

You should try and find one library that has all articulations, rather than getting open hats from one place, then pedals from another and so on. There was a free drum sample pack called "NS kit free" that was pretty good, I had a quick Google and couldn't find it, but if put in the time I reckon you'll find it. It's not as good as commercial samples like SSD or Slate, but it does sound pretty nice, and it's a pretty extensive library.

Actually, you might want to try Steven Slate Free;

NS 7 Free Kit hasn't existed for over a decade, actually. The company was sold and there was a paid version around 2008.
