Short hi-hat samples like this one are staples of online beat-making and soundboard libraries, where producers and editors grab single drum hits to build loops without recording live drums. A 131-millisecond hit is especially useful because it can be dropped, repeated and rearranged in almost any tempo without taking up space in a track. Its popularity comes from that versatility: the same tick works in trap, drill, lo-fi and electronic edits, in memes and short videos, and as a clean metronome-like accent for transitions.
