I gave you a thumbs up and I like the technique but I'm going to be brutally honest with you those high hats do not sound good they are not crisp they are not ringing they're not clean they sound dirty and old and cracked I know they're cool hi-hats and I'm sure they're expensive but they do not sound good through a recording when it comes to my ear wow on the phone or through the computer I've heard but cool rhythm nice beat and we love the pretty Shuffle
