Drums: Open Hi-Hat & Snare

Video Transcript

"Ok this next example is going to have the snare drum open or rather the snare drum play coinciding with the hi hat opening, which we haven't done. Shouldn't pose too much trouble, I'll play it slowly. And here it is a little faster. So opening the hi hat on the same note as the snare drum, we haven't done it in any of the examples so far. Shouldn't be too difficult to do. And next we'll play one more example, we are going to have a bunch of consecutive notes. And we are going to be closing the hi hat coinciding with the snare drum which we have done seventies style beat. With this one here, when you open up the snare drum along with the hi hat you are going to want to be careful to pick the right amount of hi hat opening that will let enough of the snare ring through."
