what hi hats are those? do you like them? thanks =)

[Pauliewanna]

@WillKills7 They are Sabian Paragon 13" hats -- Neil Peart's signature series and YES, I love them. I have the 14" versions as remote hats on my right.

You said at 5:02 that there is a spring on the hi-hat, and that the tighter you have it the more sound it makes when it releases and stops. My hi-hats make the same sound. Could you tell me where you can adjust the spring, so I can experiment with it? Thanks

[Pauliewanna]

@FamiPunk I've had three -- all Pearl, and they basically have a little black collar near the bottom that rotates to tighten or loosen.

Your "developed into..." is basically in a reverse order...

[noobtube59]

what kind of snare is that

[m00sevark]

Is that a huge goddamn cowbell?

[Pauliewanna]

@m00sevark It is a pretty big cowbell, but amazingly, quite high in tone. since it is very broad but not too deep.

@Pauliewanna I have Sabian Pro Sonix hats, and they don't give a good squelching sound. It may be that I just don't have the technique down very well, but just curious what your hats were.

[rabiddaffy]

At about 4:20 are you playing with the tip to do the squelches?

[Pauliewanna]

@rabiddaffy no, pretty much the shoulder, but a little closer to the end.
