Great Hi-Hat Mic
I've used some awesome hi-hat mics over the years, including the Line Audio CM3, Beyerdynamic M160, and Audio-Technica's own 4000 series pencil condensers. This is a VERY good mic for the price. It really does sound great. It does a great job capturing my hi-hats raw, and once I apply all my plugins and post-processing, it's fairly indiscernible from its professional counterparts to anyone with average ears. I would say it's great on any cymbal or as an overhead. Hell, you can probably get away with capturing many different drum components (or even other instruments) with this little guy. Durable, sleek, and bright. It comes with a clip, carrying case, and windscreen (which is helpful in attenuating any air displaced by your pumping hi-hats). If you're looking for a drum mic on a budget, order a Pro 37.
