Todd is one of the greatest drummers and educators in the business.

This is hard to teach, it just happens eventually (years later in most cases). You can actually practice it on your lap. Use your fingers for one note and your palm for the 2nd. Hopefully that helps someone...😊

This is generally how you'd play 16th notes in most settings, but don't discard the other method. Using the finger technique, you can get different sounds out of the hi-hat whilst still playing 16th notes. Times you'd use finger technique over this push and pull technique is if you play blast beats, and you're looking for a consistent dynamic across all your hits, or when you're playing dnb, when you're trying to emulate the sound of a drum machine. Don't discard any techniques, if there's something potentially interesting you can do with it, you should find a way to adapt the technique to help with longevity and the sound you want to go for/create! Be experimental! Evolve your sound! Evolve the sound of the music you play!

Silky smooth as Jeff Porcaro. Todd is amazing.

Freddie Gruber showed me this technique many years ago! Decades really! It involves a release and reverse release Motion Also the weight of the the stick comes in to play! for the 16th notes or for Triplets, Eighth notes or any group really But there is a bit of an up-and-down really it’s just in conjunction with the releases see FRED GRUBER for details?

I agree with anyone saying this is hard to teach. It truly does come naturally after some time playing.
