@Katakomves No you just grab your drum set, and completely switch it up, the Hi-Hat goes to the right instead of the left, the snare on the right, instead of the left, and your floor tom to the left instead of the right. Get your left foot on the bass pedal. However, you keep your right hand on the Hi-Hat, and left on the snare. So instead of the usual, which is your arms being crossed, your arms don't cross, and you should be able to to see your Hi-Hat pedal.

@jUnk134l1f3 you mean the hi-hat in place of ride ? thanks for the tips

[jUnk134l1f3]

@Katakomves Same here, just set your drumset up as if you were left handed (left hand on the Hi-Hat, right hand on the snare) but instead, play open handed (right hand on the hi-hat, left hand on the snare, as usual). This will take some getting used to, but it can work out great.

Also, your "curse" can greatly help you when finally playing double bass drum.

Another thing you could do is take about 15 minutes a day to train your right foot. This also will help with Double bass later.
