i think it'd be helpful if you could show us another camera angle so that we could SEE the different ways that you hit the cymbal

You have given me ideas waiting for a electric kit mate you and this site DRUMEO IS THE BEST

[michaelbauers]

wow, I had not idea drum hits were referred to as notes. Not that I know much about drumming. I create drum patterns for my own music, but it's strictly based on what I like, and what I know from listening to music. But I never understood hi hat patterns, so this is interesting.

[BruceAJohnson]

Fantastic work Jared et all, I learn something everyday from your site. Thanks

[jimworkman]

I really do love these videos, they help tremendously and it's great to have multiple views but there's one more I'd like to see, especially on this one, and that's a cam even angled with the hi hats themselves so I could watch the opening and closing and how far they're being opened and closed. Still, really great video and thank you for having these up to help people like me ;) :)

Most drummers have no concept of opening and closing the Hats on individual 16th notes while still keeping time- especially involving syncopation. David Garibaldi of the band 'Tower of Power' was a master of that technique, but only a few other drummers know how to do it. You should be able to open and close the Hats on any beat in virtually any groove! After doing it for decades, I'm still learning new techniques that I never hear anywhere!

Damn your drums/recording sounds AMAZING.

@ThexteraDrummer Try what "anonomousness" said, and play loosen, don't grab the sticks with too much grip.

[anishmansingh]

Is there any technique to play ex 2 beat with good hihat foot technique coz if we play that beat for 2 3 min our left leg start to burn.

[turinreza]

do you always hit the high hat on open ?
i thought i heard a high hat be hit on close then immediately open it without hitting it again,
is this wrong?

[kiliankraus]

But like how open is it? Fully no weight on the pedal? What if your hat cymbals are over an inch apart? Still fully open?

[edvanesch]

When you lift your foot, or when you pull it upwards, do you pull up the ball of your foot, or your toes, or your whole foot?...

[Henkeforsgren]
