Colin Woolway - Getting Started - Stepped Hi-hat Notes - Issue 301

Welcome to the wacky world of stepped hi-hat notes.
Colin muses that the hi-hat is the most underrated element of the drum set, and the art of playing it with the foot is largely ignored by a lot of drummers. But hopefully this lesson will help you get started on working that
