SPECIAL HI-HAT / KICK TECHNIQUE

[Xolin11]

This only works with a good hihat stand.

[6pam6plin6]

my fuckin unborn child can figure that one out. 'the special hi hat trick'. hahaha

[Jungleritter]

Nice language :-)

[drsteve0487]

@6pam6plin6 A little harsh, Ben. Does it not occur to you that there are beginner drummers out there who might not be as versed as your good self in the art of the hi hat foot splash and might indeed consider this a neat trick?

[TheillWill83]

@6pam6plin6 - thats what im saying.....thought he was gonna so some extraordinary shit....smh..

[diegochangos]

The control you possess within each left foot "stroke" is outstanding.

[CallOfDutyTest]

haha when i was 10 i inventet thi technik for my own, just for finding out a few years later million people alredy know it

[Beholdthesharktopus]

Your channel makes me wish I was a drummer instead of a bassist.

[Jungleritter]

You know, I've been playing bass guitar for more than 25 years now, maybe it's time for you to do both as well :-) It's great to play both!

[Beholdthesharktopus]

@Jungleritter Yeah I do own a drumset, but haven't spent much time on it. Maybe I'll set it up next to the computer and learn some stuff from your videos once summer comes around. Breakbeat drumming is a style I've never seen anyone do outside of Youtube and would definitely be something I'd like to learn.

[MegaCgee]

@Jungleritter haha.. I think he said that because there's no bass guitar lessons like this in youtube.. I mean, a lesson that is free and easy-to-learn.. xDD

[SimonVicFirth]

I've seen this on YouTube before. I use it for over a year now, but I turn my ankle 'with my inside to the outside' for the open hi-hat notes. If you try fast open-close-open-close, it hurts within' 1 minute.

[Jungleritter]

It hurts but it gets better with training. Some techniques can lead to injuries if you overdo them, but you also have to cross the pain limit at least a little bit in order to develop new techniques and muscles, it's a fine line.

[truthprojected]

if you hold your heel into it you can make it sizzle like a slightly open high hat stroke.

[tkantarci]

haskktir lan.

[Stiffdrummer07]

Very nice technique! I will try it out thanks!

[TBRodd]

Thanks so much from Turkey! In your next vid can you please mention some jazz or brush grooves?

[jonithedrummer]

i want your shoes.

[LukeSnyderMusic]

Yay for hi-hat splash. I wish you could have uploaded this video about 5 years ago, haha.

[wowrazzor]

Danke fuer das Video! Bin durch 7even von Nerve auf die Technik aufmerksam geworden, habs allerdings nicht wirklich korrekt umsetzen koennen. Thumbs up!

[z3ro66]

Nice 1 mate

[greekSU]

mmm.... size of my shoes is 46. Hi-hat stand pedal is too small to practice this technique. Maybe, someone help me to find "long board" stand or , that's better, shows alternative technique? Sorry, if you mean that funny )))

[Jungleritter]

I should have showed this in my video, sorry forgot! What you can do is you move your foot sideways when you kick the pedal, I do this usually as well, but my current setup doesn't allow this, it's too tight because the extension of my double pedal is above my hi-hat pedal. Anyways, try it out, it should work. You can move your foot either to the left or right. Cheers

[LukeSnyderMusic]

@greekSU You should still be able to do this technique, I have the same problem. However, you can turn your foot sideways so the end of your foot goes off the pedal to the side. You can then strike the pedal with the heel of your foot, no problem! Hope this helps ;)

[beholdthebubbler]

i love you.

[Jungleritter]

Hahaha, love you too :-))

[jsusfreak13]

i've seen a lot of jazz drummers do this. Thanks for the explanation. I saw them do it and tried to mimmik it without an explanation. Fail. lol

[Jungleritter]

Yeah, that's right, Jazz drummers like this technique a lot.

Cheers

[Folxweise]

Isn't that the heel-toe-technique?

Greetings

[jodgey4]

@Folxweise it's most commonly known as 'splashing' the hi-hats

same idea though using the heel for one stroke, and the the toe for the next

idk if the term 'heel-toe' would apply here

[Jungleritter]

Yeah, that's right what jodgey4 is writing, it's usually called a Hi-Hat splash. It is definitely a heel-toe-technique. I bet there are even more names for it out there....

[allmetaliswelcome]

thanks ydna! nice video! shame i can't do this technique on my sloppy e-kit

[nico7heavymetal]

nicee. i want to ask u if u can explain triplets in detail for next vid.

gratzz man, keep doing liek this

up the irons!

[Jungleritter]

Hey, thanx :-) Do you mean triplets in general or triplets with this hi-hat technique?

[nico7heavymetal]

@Jungleritter in general plz =D

[Raidaanmazz]

tri-pi-let!!!! xD

but i think he meant in general,

awesome as always Ynda

[Isdate]

@Jungleritter Quick question: At 1:22 , that technique you're using, is that the same as seen in Iron Man by Black Sabbath?? I've always questioned how it was played. I've tried doing it just by simply hit the hat the same way, but maybe I'm just retarded...?

[Jungleritter]

I just checked Iron Man but I couldn't hear/see a part in the song where he used this technique...

Cheers

Ydna

[Isdate]

@Jungleritter I'm retarded. I meant War Pig. I got the two completely mixed up. :P

[Jungleritter]

Yeah, alright, I was actually checking war pigs too because my first thought was you're asking about that song. The hi-hat pattern in there is famous but he's not using this technique in war pigs, I know it sounds like he does but in live videos you can see he's playing it with his hand.

Cheers
