Our next high hat pattern will also involve
using sixteenth notes, but we're going to split them up among two hands. So rather than
oney and a twoey and, we're going to have oney and a twoey and a. Now usually the way
that you do this in terms of which hand you lead with is the hand that you play the high
hat with alone is the hand you lead with and the hand you play the snare drum with. So
in my case this is my left. If you're a drummer that plays right handed in this fashion, you
would usually start this way.
Because I'm a left handed drummer and I normally play
the high hat this way, I'm going to start with my left and this is what it could sound
like. We can certainly play this a lot faster than we can play the single handed because
we're using two hands. It would be hard to maintain that. I can just barely do it and
just very briefly. So this allows to play a little bit faster and it also gives us a
little bit of a different sound..
