Split 8ths on the Hihat: An Independence Exercise

Here's an independence exercise where we play 8th notes on the hihat split between the hand and hihat foot. The bass drum will play any reading exercise you have handy.

Here's my video on how to practise an independence exercise. It will be helpful:

Really nice playing at the end of this video, Darryn. Great groove.

Great groove, very useful for step/slap house music. And we're going to need a video on the groove you played at the end

Masterful and awesome as per usual. Thank for sharing these pearls of wisdom Darryn.

This idea can be played as 16th notes (split 16ths)
For slow moderate tempos.

Jason McGerr is a master at this. It's inhuman.
