synthetic hi-hats

The sound of a hi-hat (a pair of cymbals on a stand with a foot pedal that is used to open & close them; thus changing the sound that they make when struck with drumsticks) created solely by synthesizer hardware or computer software synthesis.

Most frequently heard in electronic music ("electronica" is the name of the actual musical genre).

No real hi-hats are damaged or destroyed when synthetic hi-hats are employed.

The song, "Move to the Beat" by the electronica group Monkey Zound has synthetic hi-hats in it! How kewl!

synthetic

Pharmaceutically, a non-endogenous compound in the field of biological/organic chemistry. Essentially meaning, the unnatural occurence or man made molecule.

Oxymorphone is a semi synthetic compound derived from naturally occurring thebaine and morphine found within the opium poppy plant. Fentanyl, another opioid agonist is not derived from any endogenous compound; therefore it is considered a fully synthetic chemical.
