Hi Scott,
The right hand hi-hat is a remote type, the pedal is hidden by the floor tom on the left of the kit.
(That floor tom is usually on the right, not sure how it got over that side)
I've never really understood the reasoning behind the "fixed hat" idea, if I'm going to have two hi-hats, they need to be able to be controlled with foot pedals and my left foot.
Regarding that splash cymbal, some clown drew those cracks on it with a Sharpie pen.
I have Luke (our sound guy) record the audio from my drum kit at the mixing desk as MP3 files, it saves me having to muck around with starting and stopping the recorder (when I remember).
